Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Peel the potatoes, chop them into large chunks, and boil them in a pot of salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes).
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth and lump-free.
Add shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, milk, butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly until the butter is melted and everything is well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually fold the beaten eggs into the potato mixture until well combined.
Stir in the chopped green onions, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Mix gently until no traces of flour remain.
Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and slightly puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 5 minutes before cutting into slices or scooping to serve.
Enjoy your Cheesy Potato Puff warm as a delightful side dish or a comforting snack!
