Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into small chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, half of the crumbled bacon, and half of the sliced green onions.
Transfer the potato mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions on top of the potato mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dip cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced veggies. Enjoy!
