4 whole Baking Potatoes
2/3 cups Butter
2/3 cups Flour
6 cups Milk
3/4 teaspoons Salt
1/2 teaspoons Pepper, More To Taste
4 whole Green Onions, Chopped, Divided
12 slices Bacon, Cooked Crisp, Crumbled, Divided
1-1/4 cup Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
8 ounces, fluid Sour Cream

1
Scrub potatoes well and prick with a fork several times. Bake in a 400-degree oven for 1 hour or until done. Let cool a bit. While potatoes are cooking, chop your onions, cook your bacon, and grate your cheese.
2
Cut potatoes open, scoop out pulp and set aside. Discard skins.
3
Melt butter in a large stockpot over low heat; add flour and whisk together until smooth. Continue cooking over low heat for about a minute or so, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk, cook and stir constantly over medium to medium-low heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly. On my stove, this is usually 15-20 minutes. DO NOT cook over high heat to get it done sooner, this step needs to go slowly.
4
Add the potatoes, salt, pepper, half of the chopped green onion, 1/2 cup of the crumbled bacon, and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Cook until thoroughly heated; stir in the sour cream. Taste, adjust seasonings, if needed, and thin with a little milk if it is too thick for your taste.
5
Serve topped with remaining onion, bacon, and cheese. Swoon, then go back for seconds.
