I was short on time, so luckily I had some potatoes leftover from the previous night. However, if you do not happen to have some baked potatoes already on hand... 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Allow oven to fully heat up. 2. Wrap the potatoes in tin foil and bake for 1 hour. 3. Once potatoes are cooked, let them cool off completely! 4. Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan. 5. Peel and diced potatoes in approximately 1/2 inch to 1 inch cubes. 6. Whisk in the flour, salt, and pepper until mixture is smooth. 7. Gradually add the milk and the broth, whisking after each cup added. 8. Boil for about two minutes; stirring often. 9. Remove from heat and whisk in the sour cream. 10. Add potatoes, green onions, and bacon bits; place back on heat on medium low heat stirring often. 11. Garnish with cheese and enjoy!
