Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the russet potatoes. Rub each potato with a thin layer of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly until safe to handle.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the insides into a bowl, leaving about a 1/4-inch shell to maintain structure.
To the bowl with the scooped-out potato flesh, add butter, sour cream, milk, 1 cup of shredded gouda cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato shells, filling them generously.
Top each filled potato with a sprinkle of the extra shredded gouda cheese.
Return the stuffed potatoes to the baking sheet and bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.
Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
