Simmer and Mix Ingredients

Start by placing the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with salted water. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let the potatoes simmer until they’re tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Once cooked, drain most of the water, leaving about 2 cups in the pot. Stir in the cream of onion soup, luncheon meat, milk, and shredded Cheddar cheese. Turn the heat back to medium and let everything warm through for a few minutes until it’s nice and hot. Taste and season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to your liking. Serve and enjoy!
