Place potatoes in the oven and cook for about 1 hour at 350 degrees.
Meanwhile heat water in a large saucepan and add chopped celery to the water
and simmer until celery is tender. When potatoes are fully cooked, slice
down the center and scoop the pulp out of each potato and add to celery and
water. Add milk. Butter, sour cream, bacon, green onions, 1 cup of the
cheddar cheese, parsley or dill and salt and pepper. Allow mixture to simmer
over low-medium heat until it thickens. Serve hot with cheddar cheese
sprinkled on top.
You may also add chives (from the top of the green onions), bacon pieces and
sour cream.
