Baked Potato Soup
4 large baking potatoes about 2.75 lb.
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup flour (I use seasoned flour)
3/4 t. salt (if use seasoned flour don’t need so much)
1/4 t. white pepper
6 cup milk
1 cup sour cream
1 med. onion chopped and cooked till golden — in another pan
10 bacon strips cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Bake potatoes at 350 or 400 till tender; cool completely. Peel and cube
potatoes. In large saucepan melt butter, stir in flour, salt and pepper
until smooth. Let it cook for about 2 minutes stirring so it won’t get
too brown. Gradually whisk in milk, bring just to a boil, lower heat
and cook till thickened about 3-4 minutes. Add onion. Whisk in sour
cream. Add potatoes and gently cook till just hot. Garnish with bacon
and cheese.
