Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Scrub the potatoes clean and pierce each one a few times with a fork. Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for about 50 minutes or until tender. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Lower the oven temperature to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins (optional) and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, salt, black pepper, melted butter, sour cream, 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, half of the crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, milk, and garlic powder. Stir gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top, followed by the remaining crumbled bacon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with additional green onions before serving, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
