Ingredients
- 5 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cups half and half
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chives
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 2 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 2 ounces bacon diced and fried crispy
- 1 1/4 teaspoons fennel seeds
Instructions
- Wash and scrub potatoes, pat dry. Rub potatoes with butter and place in baking pan, bake at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the done.
- Remove from oven and cool slightly. When the potatoes have cooled enough to touch, peel 4 of the potatoes, we will need the skin on the 5th potato.
- While potatoes are cooling, add fennel seeds to milk and half and half, and scald the milk. Scalding is heating milk at a moderated temperature just until a boiling point but not boiling and quickly remove from heat.
- Scalding will keep the mixture from separating. Let milk cool slightly with fennel seeds in the mixture. When potatoes or cool enough to work with carefully cut 4 in half and place in a food processor.
- Potatoes should measure out to 1 1/2 - 2 cups cooked potato. Dice the 5th potato and set aside, leave the potato skins on this potato. To the cooked potato add sour cream, chives, salt, pepper, celery salt and 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese.
- Strain the fennel seeds from warm milk and discard seeds, pour milk mixture into food processor and processes 1 1/2 - 2 minutes until smooth.
- Place mixture into a saucepan add butter and diced potato stir frequently and simmer on very low setting for about 15 - 20 minutes. When ready to serve ladle into individual bowls and garnish with cheddar cheese, bacon, and green diced onion.
