- Start by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Cut the potatoes into even-sized cubes, about 1 to 2 inches.
- Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
- Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the drained potatoes. Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, begin mashing the potatoes until they reach your desired level of creaminess.
- Add the softened butter to the mashed potatoes and mix until incorporated.
- Mix in the sour cream and milk, adjusting the amount of milk based on how creamy you want your mixture to be.
- Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a little butter or cooking spray.
- Transfer the mashed potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- If desired, sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the mashed potatoes.
- For an extra cheesy touch, sprinkle a little more shredded cheddar cheese on top of the breadcrumbs.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Before serving, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top of the casserole.
- Serve the cheesy mashed potato casserole warm.
