In a large saucepan, whisk together flour and milk until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the potatoes, 1/3 c. Cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Add the optional ingredients if using, to add more flavor. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the sour cream and 1/4 c. green onions until blended. Cover; cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until heated through. DO NOT boil.
Serve, garnished with remaining Cheddar cheese, green onions and crumbled bacon, if desired.

*Don't use packaged shredded cheese, but shred it yourself. It will melt and taste much better.
