Spray a 2.75 quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/4 inch slices.

Cut the onion into rings and add it to the potatoes.

Boil water in a pot and add the potato slices and onion rings.

Once boiling, reduce heat and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until fork tender.

Leave about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of liquid in the pot after cooking the potatoes.

Add 1/8 teaspoon onion powder, 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon salt to the potatoes.

Mix 1 tablespoon of flour into the 2/3 cup of heavy cream and stir until combined, even if there are small lumps.

Pour the heavy cream mixture into the potatoes and stir gently to combine without breaking the potatoes.

Turn the heat back up and cook until the mixture thickens.

Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in half of the cheddar cheese until melted.

Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the potato mixture.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until cooked through.
