   4      large         Potatoes
     2/3  cup           Margarine
     2/3  cup           Flour
   1 1/2  quarts        Milk
                        Salt to taste
                        Pepper to taste
   4                    Green onions -- chopped
   1      cup           Sour cream

Bake potatoes until tender (about 1 hour at 350 degrees). Melt margarine.
Blend in flour with a whisk. Gradually add milk. Add salt and pepper
. (Make a really thin white sauce.) Cut potatoes in half and scoop out meat
. Chop 1/2 the skins.  Whisk potato meat into hot white sauce, then add
 chopped onions and peels. Stir in sour cream, crumbled bacon and heat.
 Add cheese and stir until melted.  Garnish with reserved cheese, bacon and chives.
