Scrub potatoes thoroughly with a brush; pat dry. Prick potatoes with a fork. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 40 to 60 minutes or until tender. Let cool. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; gently scoop out each potato. Discard potato skins.

In a large saucepan cook 3 tablespoons green onion in margarine until tender; stir in flour, dill, salt, and pepper. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Add the potato pulp and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese; stir until cheese melts. Ladle into bowls. Garnish each serving with the remaining shredded cheese, 3 tablespoons green onion, and bacon. Makes 6 servings.
