Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Add the butter, sour cream, and milk to the potatoes and mash until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the garlic powder, remaining salt, and black pepper. Mix in 2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese until fully incorporated.
Spread the mashed potatoes evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheddar cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
