CHEF'S CHEESE SAUCE FOR BAKED POTATOES

Chef's Cheese Sauce for Baked Potatoes image

A "loaded" potato with just one sauce! I've been using this delightful sauce for years....it is soooo good. Any leftover sauce is good on most hot vegetables, too. The cook time is for softening the butter. If possible, don't use any substitutions for butter.
