  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange potatoes on a baking sheet.
  • Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in small pot over medium heat. Add green onions; cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in flour until well blended, about 1 minute. Pour in milk and 1/2 cup half-and-half gradually, stirring sauce constantly. Season with salt and cook until sauce is thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
