Quick And Easy Skillet Chowder - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 Tbsp. roasted garlic butter (Land O' Lakes)
2 Tbsp. oil
2 c. frozen potatoes O'Brien, thawed
1 (14 3/4 oz.) can cream style corn
1/4 c. cooked and crumbled bacon (or real bacon bits)
2 c. half & half
1/8 tsp. white pepper
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives (or 1 Tbsp. dried)
Cheese of choice, optional

Preparation

Heat garlic butter and oil in large skillet.
I like to use my electric skillet for this. Add the potatoes and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender.
This usually takes about 4 to 5 minutes.
Add corn, bacon, half & half, white pepper, paprika, salt and chives.
Continue cooking over low heat for about 5 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened.
If desired, sprinkle a little cheese over the top of each serving.
