We use to have this all the time at a favorite restaurant till I made my own up. YUM! I usually double this for when we are having a large group to visit. Ingredients:
2 quarts whole milk |
1/2 cup butter |
1/2 onion, diced |
5 baked potatoes |
2/3 cup flour |
1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon (i cheat sometimes and use the real bacon pieces in the bag) |
1 1/2 cups sour cream |
1 garlic clove, minced |
salt & fresh ground pepper |
diced green onion |
grated cheddar cheese |
crumbled bacon |
sour cream |
Directions:
1. Peel and cut the baked potatoes into medium sized chunks. (This can be done a day in advance to save time).
2. Place butter and onions in a large pot.
3. Cook till onions are semi-clear.
4. Reserve 2 cups of milk and pour the rest in the pot with the onions.
5. Warm milk and while it is heating mix remaining milk with the flour, whisking till smooth.
6. Whisk the milk/flour mixture into the heated milk, continuing to whisk till well blended and smooth (minus the onions of course).
7. When milk has thickened add the potatoes, bacon, salt, pepper, and garlic.
8. Finally mix in the sour cream just till melted inches.
9. Garnish as desired.
10. Cook time does not include time to bake potatoes.
