Peel and dice potatoes. In a large saucepan or boiling pot, boil until slightly tender (not mushy). Drain water from potatoes.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook about a minute, stirring continuously. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, stirring constantly until thickened.

Add salt, pepper, bacon bits, green onions and shredded cheese.

Top soup with additional cheese, bacon bits, and green onions. May also top with sour cream if not added to soup at the end of cooking cycle. Enjoy.
