The only difference in mine is I used what I had on hand... 
2% Milk and I omitted the Green Onions.

What You'll Need...

4 Potatoes - peeled and diced into 1/2" pieces

1 Yellow onion - diced

4 tbsp. all purpose flour

4 tbsp. unsalted butter

8 slices of bacon

3 cups chicken stock

3 cups of whole milk

1/2 cup of sour cream

1&1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

chopped green onions

salt and pepper to taste

Directions...

In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, cook the bacon until it becomes nice and crispy. Remove to a paper towel lined plate, set aside.

Discard any fat that the bacon rendered, add the butter and onion to the pot and sauté till the onion becomes translucent and develops a bit of color, about 4-5 minutes.

Add the flour and stir constantly for 1 minute, add the milk, stock and potatoes bring to a simmer, cook for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.   

Add the sour cream, cooked bacon (cut into pieces) and cheese, stir everything together and cook for 5 minutes more.

 Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve, sprinkling some chopped green onion and cheese over top.
