• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 2 teaspoons Course Sea Salt
• 2 Tablespoon Butter
• 6 Green Onions (Spring Onions)

  Chopped
• 1 Large Clove Garlic

  Minced

• ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
• ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
• 4 Cups Milk

  We used 1%
• 5 Ounces Cheddar Cheese

  Sharp Cheddar is also good
• 4 Slices Bacon

  or use Bacon Bits

Instructions

• 1 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!
• 2 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.
• 3 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.
• 4 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)
• 5 Stir in the flour and pour in all the milk. Heat until the milk is thick.
• 6 Break up any large chunks of potatoes. Mix the potatoes into the milk.
• 7 Stir in half of the cheese, about 2 ½ ounces. Heat until the cheese is melted.
• 8 Serve this with toppings like bacon bits, cheese, and green spring onions.
• 9 Enjoy!!!
