Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for even thickness, if available.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and heavy cream until smooth.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper to the soup mixture.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the soup mixture over the potatoes, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the layer of potatoes and soup mixture.
Add the remaining potato slices on top and pour the remaining soup mixture over them, smoothing it out evenly.
Sprinkle the second cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
