Ingredients

4 large baking potatoes

2/3 c. butter

2/3 c. flour

6 c. milk

¾ tsp. salt

½ tsp. pepper

4 green onions, chopped

12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (leave out for vegan option)

1 ¼ c. shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Wash potatoes and prick several times with fork; bake at 400º for 1 hour or until done (you may microwave if time warrants).

Let cool, cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out potato pulp and set aside; discard skins.

Melt butter in heavy soup pan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. (Note: A heavy, thick-bottomed soup pan or dutch oven is best, otherwise you may have trouble with the soup sticking and scorching in the bottom of the pan!)

Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly.

Add potato pulp, salt, pepper and 2 T. green onions, ½ cup bacon and 1 cup cheese. Cook until thoroughly heated . Add extra milk if desired for thinner consistency.

Serve with remaining green onions, bacon and cheese for garnish. Makes about 10 cups.
