Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.

Add butter, sour cream, cream cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

Mash the mixture until creamy and smooth.

Fold in the cooked bacon, cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
