This turned out delicious! I didn't have any green onions on hand, but it was still great!

Steps

1

To a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker, add potatoes, onion, chicken broth, evaporated milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with lid and cook on high heat for 4 hours or low heat for 8 hours ( poke potatoes with a fork to check make sure they're soft).
2

Ladle out 2 cups liquid from soup mixture in crock pot into a liquid measuring cup, set aside.
3

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes.
4

While whisking, slowly pour 2 cups liquid in measuring cup into butter mixture, it will thicken quickly. Pour butter mixture into slow cooker and stir to blend. If desired, mash potatoes with a potato masher to break down into smaller pieces.
5

Cover and cook on high heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. Turn heat off or to warm, stir in sour cream. Serve warm topped with cheddar, bacon and green onions.
