To make baked potatoes, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Start by washing the potatoes and pricking them a few times with a fork. Then, rub some olive oil on the potatoes and sprinkle some coarse salt over them. Place the potatoes in the oven and bake them for 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes. You'll know they're ready when the skin is crispy and you can easily insert a fork into the potato. That's all there is to it!
After letting the potato cool, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp.
NOTE: If you want potato skins as a snack, place them back in the oven for 10 minutes. Add cheese and melt it, then top with bacon and green onions.
Cook the bacon by placing it on a foil-lined baking sheet and cook in the oven at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until it's done to your desired crispness. Alternatively, use bacon bits.
Over Medium heat - Melt the butter in a saucepan and add ½ of the chopped green onions, the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 30 seconds to one minute. (Reserve ½ the onions for topping on the soup)
Stir in the flour and pour in all the milk. Heat until the milk is thick.
Break up any large chunks of potatoes. Mix the potatoes into the milk.
Stir in half of the cheese, about 2 ½ ounces. Heat until the cheese is melted.
Serve this with toppings like bacon bits, cheese, and green spring onions.
Enjoy!!!
