3) Add the flour and stir constantly for 1 minute, add the milk, stock and potatoes and bring to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
4) Add the sour cream, cooked bacon and cheese and stir everything together and cook for 5 more minutes.
5) Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve.When you’re ready to serve, sprinkle some chopped green onions over the top with a little extra sprinkle of cheese.
