Ingredients Overview
6 Large Potatoes
Choose russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture and flavor. Wash and scrub them thoroughly but leave the skins on for added nutrition and rustic appeal.
1/4 Cup Butter
Provides a rich base for the cheese sauce, adding depth and flavor.
1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
Combined with butter to create a roux, which thickens the cheese sauce.
2 Cups Milk
Use whole milk for a creamier sauce, or substitute with 2% if preferred.
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Divided
Sharp cheddar is ideal for a bold, cheesy flavor. Half is melted into the sauce, and the other half is sprinkled on top.
1/2 Cup Cooked and Crumbled Bacon
Adds a smoky, savory crunch to the dish. For convenience, use pre-cooked bacon or cook and crumble your own.
1/4 Cup Chopped Green Onions

Salt and Pepper to Taste
Essential seasonings to enhance and balance the flavors.
