8 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 1/2 pound bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar or Asiago cheese, shredded
  • salt and pepper to taste

For Toppings

  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped

Instructions

  • Wash potatoes and drain well. Prick potatoes once or twice with the tines of a fork and wrap each potato with foil. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a 425 F oven for about 45 to 60 minutes or until tender but not falling apart. Remove foil and allow potatoes to cool to touch. With a knife, peel potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer into a bowl and set aside.
  • In a pot over medium heat, add bacon and cook until crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  • In the pot, add onions to the rendered bacon fat and cook, stirring regularly, until softened. Transfer mixture to the bowl of potatoes.
  • In the pot, melt butter. Sprinkle flour on top of butter, stirring regularly until smooth. 
  • Slowly add milk, whisking vigorously until thick and smooth. 
  • Add the potato and onion mixture. Lower heat to a simmer. 
  • Add shredded cheese and stir until melted.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve, ladle into individual bowls. Garnish with cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions and the reserved bacon bits.

    This sounds GOOD. Like my favorite “get at a restaurant” good. The only changes I will make will be to substitute cheddar for the Asiago cheese and omit the sour cream. Will definitely make it soon!
