Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Wash the tomatoes and slice them into thin rounds, approximately the same thickness as the potatoes.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Layer one-third of the potato slices at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping each slice.
Sprinkle one-third of the seasoning mixture over the potato layer, followed by one-third of the shredded cheddar cheese and a few spoonfuls of Parmesan cheese.
Add a single layer of tomato slices over the potatoes, slightly overlapping them.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, seasonings, tomatoes, and cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Pour the heavy cream evenly over the entire dish, allowing it to seep down to the bottom.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
