Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and return them to the pot.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Mash the drained potatoes in the pot until smooth. Add the sour cream, cream cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until fully combined and creamy.
Fold in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and half of the sliced green onions.
Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.
Top with panko breadcrumbs to create a crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining green onions.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
