Method
 

Step 1: Bake the Potatoes First
  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Rub potatoes lightly with oil and bake for about 45–60 minutes.
  3. You want:
  4. Crispy skin
  5. Soft, fluffy inside
  6. Let them cool slightly, then peel and roughly mash.
  7. I once skipped cooling and burned my fingers. Not worth rushing.
Step 2: Build the Flavor Base
  1. In a large pot:
  2. Cook bacon until crispy
  3. Remove and crumble
  4. Keep 1–2 tbsp bacon fat
  5. Add butter, then onions. Cook until slightly golden—not just soft.
  6. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  7. That smell? That’s your base coming alive.
Step 3: Create the Thick Base
  1. Sprinkle flour over the mixture.
  2. Stir continuously for 1–2 minutes.
  3. Slowly pour in:
  4. Milk
  5. Chicken broth
  6. Whisk as you pour to avoid lumps.
  7. First time I rushed this—ended up with clumps. Take your time here.
Step 4: Add Potatoes & Simmer
  1. Add mashed baked potatoes.
  2. Let it simmer gently for 10–15 minutes.
  3. You’ll see it thicken naturally.
  4. Texture should be:
  5. Creamy
  6. Slightly chunky
  7. Not paste-like
Step 5: Bring It All Together
  1. Lower heat.
  2. Add:
  3. Cheddar cheese
  4. Sour cream
  5. Half the bacon
  6. Stir gently until smooth.
  7. Taste and adjust salt + pepper.
Step 6: Serve Like a Pro
  1. Top with:
  2. Remaining bacon
  3. Green onions
  4. Extra cheese (optional but recommended)

Notes

Serve hot with extra cheese and crispy bacon on top for best experience.
