2/3 Cup Butter
2/3 Cup Flour
1-1/2 Quart Milk
Salt and Pepper

4 Green onions
1 Cup Sour cream
2 Cup Crisp-cooked bacon crumbled

Cooking Instructions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake the potatoes until for tender. Melt butter

in a medium saucepan. Slowly blend in flour with a wire whisk until

thoroughly blended. Gradually add milk to the butter-flour mixture, whisking

constantly. Whisk in salt and pepper and simmer over low heat, stirring

constantly. Cut potatoes in half, scoop out the meat and set aside. Chop

half the potato peels and discard the remainder. When milk mixture is very

cream and crumbled bacon. Heat thoroughly. Add cheese a little at a time

until it is all melted in.
