Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place the chunks in a pot of salted water and boil them for 20 minutes, or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and mash them in the same pot while still warm.
Add butter, milk, sour cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the potatoes, and mash until creamy and smooth.
Fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, half of the green onions, and half of the crumbled bacon into the mashed potatoes.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top of the mashed potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining green onions and crumbled bacon.
Serve warm and enjoy this hearty, comforting dish!
