Wash and dry all produce. Dice @Yukon Gold potatoes{10%unit} into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and small dice @yellow onion{2%unit}. Peel and finely chop @garlic{2%clove}. Finely chop @jalapeño{1%unit} until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings), removing ribs and seeds if you prefer less heat.

Melt 2 TBSP @butter{4%tbsp} (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in a #medium pot{} over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; season with @salt{} and @pepper{}. Cook, stirring, until softened, ~{4%minutes}. Add @flour{2%tbsp} and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, ~{1%minute}.

Slowly stir in @milk{2%unit} a small splash at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in 1 ½ cups water (2 ½ cups for 4 servings). Add potatoes and @chicken stock concentrate{2%unit}; season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are very tender, ~{15%minutes}.

Meanwhile, place @bacon{2%unit} in a single layer in a #large pan{} over medium heat. Cook, flipping occasionally, until crispy, ~{8%minutes}. Turn off heat; transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, finely chop.

Once potatoes are tender, reduce heat to low and mash to desired consistency. Mash until almost smooth, with some small potato pieces. Stir in half the bacon and half the @cheddar cheese{2%unit}. Season generously with salt and pepper. If too thick, stir in a splash of warm water.

Divide chowder between bowls; top with remaining bacon and cheddar, a dollop of @sour cream{2%units}, and as much jalapeño as you'd like.
