Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place the potato chunks in a large pot of salted water and bring it to a boil.
Step 3
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot.
Step 4
Add the butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded Gouda cheese and half of the crumbled bacon until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Spread the mashed potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Gouda cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Step 8
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and the remaining crumbled bacon. Sprinkle the mixture over the cheese layer.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Step 10
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
