- Bake the Potatoes:
- Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter over the top. Sprinkle with additional shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with additional chopped green onions before serving.
