Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Scrub potatoes; puncture with a fork to vent; toss with olive oil and salt; place on a baking pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until fork tender.
Meanwhile, fry the bacon until crisp; set aside; chop when cooled, reserving half for garnish; set aside.
Set potatoes aside until cool enough to handle; slice in half lengthwise and then into half rounds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick; place into a large bowl. Add 1 c. Cheddar cheese and half of the bacon. Add the sliced green onions, set aside a big pinch of it for garnish; toss.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 x 8 inch baking dish; set aside.
Blend together evaporated milk, sour cream and melted butter; add parsley, garlic salt and pepper; pour over the potatoes; gently toss. Use a potato masher to break down the chunks to the desired texture. Turn out into the prepared baking dish; cover; bake for 40 minutes or until heated through. Remove; top with remaining 1/2 c. shredded cheese; return to oven, uncovered, until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Garnish with remaining bacon and green onion.
Serve immediately.
6-8 servings.
