Peel the potatoes and cut them into large evenly-sized chunks.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them sit for a minute to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.
Add the butter, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a hand mixer to achieve your desired consistency.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and half of the chopped green onions.
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and sprinkle the remaining green onions on top for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy your Mashed Loaded Baked Potato!
