Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Scrub the russet potatoes clean, dry them, and prick them with a fork several times.
Rub the potatoes with olive oil, place them directly on the oven rack, and bake for 60 minutes or until soft and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Reduce oven temperature to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the insides into a large mixing bowl, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato flesh attached to the skin.
Add the butter, sour cream, whole milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl with the potato insides. Mash until smooth and well blended. Adjust seasoning to taste.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of heavy cream at the bottom to prevent sticking.
Start layering: spread an even layer of the mashed potato mixture at the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by mozzarella cheese, then a portion of the crumbled bacon.
Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous topping of cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and the remaining bacon.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the lasagna sit for 5-10 minutes to set before slicing.
Garnish with sliced green onions just before serving. Enjoy your Twice Baked Potato Lasagna!
