-
4 baking potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds)
-
2/3 cup all-purpose flour (about 3 ounces)
-
6 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
-
1 cup (4 ounces) reduced-fat shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese, divided
-
1 tsp salt
-
Cracked black pepper (optional)
-
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
-
3/4 cup green onions, chopped, divided

6 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
Recipe Method
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Pierce potatoes with a fork; bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until tender. Cool. Peel potatoes; coarsely mash.
3. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Place flour in a large Dutch oven; gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly (about 8 minutes). Add mashed potatoes, 3/4 cup cheese, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, stirring until cheese melts. Remove from heat.
4. Stir in sour cream and 1/2 cup onions. Cook over low heat 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated (do not boil). Ladle 1 1/2 cups soup into each of 8 bowls. Sprinkle each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons onions, and about 1 tablespoon bacon. Garnish with cracked pepper, if desired.
Yield: 8 servings.
