Cheesy Potato Bake: A Comforting, Creamy Delight

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Prepare Potatoes: Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, then layer them in the prepared baking dish.
Make Cheese Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the potatoes.
Layer with Cheese: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes, ensuring it covers evenly.
Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (if using) and fresh parsley for garnish.
