Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Arrange sliced potatoes in three rows in the dish, interspersing onion slices among them.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, then whisk in flour before gradually adding almond milk while stirring to avoid lumps until thickened.
Stir in shredded cheddar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until creamy.
Pour sauce evenly over potatoes and onions.
Cover with foil and bake for about 45 minutes.
Remove foil, sprinkle with gruyere and parmesan, then bake uncovered for an additional 30-45 minutes until golden brown.
Let rest for a few minutes before garnishing with parsley and serving.
