Notes

For best results, ensure that the potatoes are cut into even cubes for consistent cooking. If you desire a thicker soup, consider mashing some of the potatoes in the pot before adding the cheese. Adjust the seasoning to your preference and feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little extra heat.
