Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds. You can use a mandoline slicer for even slices.
Arrange half of the potato slices in the bottom of the greased baking dish, slightly overlapping them in layers.
Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Pour 3/4 cup of heavy cream over the potatoes and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Add half of the crumbled bacon and half of the sliced green onions on top of the cheese.
Layer the remaining potato slices on top and repeat the seasoning with the remaining salt and pepper.
Pour the remaining 3/4 cup of heavy cream over the second layer of potatoes.
Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Let the potato bake cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
