Baked Potato Soup

4 large baking potatoes (about 2-3/4 lbs)
2/3 cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper (I use black)
6 cups milk
1 cup (8oz) sour cream
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
10 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Bake potatoes at 350 degrees for an hour, cool completely. Peel and cube. In a large saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour, salt, and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat, whisk in sour cream. Add potatoes and green onions. Garnish with bacon and cheese.
