INGREDIENTS
about 3 1/4 pounds Russet or baking potatoes (about 4 medium/large potatoes)
1/4 cup
(half of 1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
2
or 3 cloves garlic, minced or finely pressed
6 cups
2% or whole milk
8 oz
extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated and divided (don’t use pre-grated cheese in ziptop bags because that cheese is resistant to melting and won’t incorporate well)
1 tsp
salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp
freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 cup
sour cream (I used reduced fat)
about 10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (I used pre-cooked bacon that cooks in microwave in about 1 minute to save time; yields about 1 cup crumbled bacon)
about 6 to 8 green onions, trimmed and sliced into small segments (yields about 3/4 cup)
