Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into thin, uniform rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the milk and cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and mix in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, whisking until melted and smooth.
Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Layer the remaining potato slices on top and pour the rest of the cheese sauce over them, ensuring all the potatoes are covered.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
