Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Rub the potatoes with a small amount of canola oil. Place them on a baking sheet and back for 35-40 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and reduce the temperature to 375 degrees.
Cut the potatoes using a sharp knife and add to a large mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher.
Add all the remaining ingredients except for the green onions, ½ cup of fontina cheese, and ½ cup of crumbled bacon to the mixing bowl and stir until well combined and creamy. Add additional milk if needed.
Add the potato mixture to a lightly oiled 9 x 13 baking dish.
Top the casserole with the reserved bacon and cheese.
Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the top begins to brown. Top with sliced green onions and enjoy.
