1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. flour
7 c. milk
4 large baked potatoes, skinned & cubed
6 scallions, sliced
1 lb. bacon, cooked crisp, crumbled
1-1/2 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
8 oz. sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Melt butter in large Dutch oven and stir in flour. Cook 1-2 minutes. Gradually stir in milk until thickened. Add potatoes and scallions; bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
