Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 4 baking potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 2⁄3 cup all-purpose flour (about 3 ounces)
- 6 cups 2% low-fat milk
- 1 cup reduced-fat shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt

Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Pierce potatoes with a fork; bake at 400° for 1 hour or until tender. Cool. Peel potatoes; coarsely mash.
- Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Place flour in a large Dutch oven; gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly (about 8 minutes). Add mashed potatoes, 3/4 cup cheese, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, stirring until cheese melts. Remove from heat.

Sprinkle each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons onions, and about 1 tablespoon bacon. Garnish with cracked pepper, if desired.
