Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and leave the skins on. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil and bake on a baking sheet for about 60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Let the baked potatoes cool completely (this can also be done the night before and stored in the refrigerator).
Using the large holes of a box grater, shred the cooled potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Do not peel the skins; the texture adds to the dish.
Add the grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, finely diced onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the shredded potatoes. Fold the mixture together gently to avoid breaking up the potato shreds too much.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Transfer the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve warm.
