Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large baking potatoes
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup flour
8 cups milk (you will probably need more to thin)

1 cup sour cream
6 green onions, chopped
14 slices bacon, cooked till crisp and crumbled
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated

  • Cut potatoes in half, scoop out the interior and set aside. Chop up half the potato peels and discard the remainder.
  • When milk mixture is very hot, whisk in potato. Add green onion and potato peels. Whisk well, add sour cream and crumbled bacon. Heat thoroughly. Add cheese a little at a time until all is melted in .
  • Note: You can set aside a bit of the bacon, green onions and cheese to sprinkle on top for a nice appearance.
  • Enjoy!
