Cut the red potatoes into small teeny tiny chunks.

Pour in 16 ounces of heavy cream (or broth if not using cream).

Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper.

Add 1 tablespoon of onion powder and 1 tablespoon of garlic powder.

Add 1/4 cup of bacon bits (adjust to preference).

Top with 1 cup of cheddar cheese.

Mix all ingredients together and ensure potatoes are mostly covered by liquid.

Set the Instant Pot to the soup/broth setting and cook for 30 minutes.

After cooking, let it sit for 10 minutes before quick releasing any remaining pressure.

Remove the lid and check the soup's consistency; if too watery, mix cornstarch with water and add to thicken.

Scoop the potato soup into bowls and serve with sour cream and extra cheese on top.
