Wash, peel, and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds. For even cooking, try to keep the slices uniform.
Peel and chop the onion into thin slices. If preferred, you can dice the onion finely.
Grease the inside of your crock pot or slow cooker with 1 tablespoon of the butter to prevent sticking.
Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the crock pot, followed by one-third of the sliced onions.
Sprinkle about one-third of the shredded cheddar cheese over the potato and onion layer, followed by a light dusting of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Repeat the layering process twice more with the remaining potatoes, onions, cheese, and seasonings, making sure to finish with a layer of cheese on top.
Pour the heavy cream evenly over the layers in the crock pot, ensuring it reaches all parts of the dish.
Cut the remaining tablespoon of butter into small pieces and scatter them over the top of the final cheese layer.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to LOW heat. Cook for approximately 4-5 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden on top.
Once cooked, allow the dish to sit for 5-10 minutes to set before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm as a side dish.
