Baked Potato Soup

1. 1

   In a skillet, cook bacon pieces over medium heat until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, set aside.

2. 2

   Wash and peel (or don't peel) potatoes and cut into thirds. Place potatoes into a large pot with water to cover. Add 2 teaspoons salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until soft, about 45 minutes. Drain potatoes, discard water, return to the pot. Mash until mostly smooth.

3. 3

   Add sour cream and butter to the potatoes and stir until butter is melted. Add milk, pepper, 3/4 of the bacon, 2 cups of cheese and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring back to a simmer.

4. 4

   Serve hot and garnish with green onions, sour cream, remaining bacon, and remaining 1 cup cheese.
