Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them using a potato masher or ricer until smooth.
Add the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, black pepper, and milk to the mashed potatoes. Stir until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese, reserving 2 tablespoons of each for the topping.
Transfer the mashed potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Top the potatoes with the reserved sharp cheddar, Parmesan, and the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives before serving.
