Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place them in a large pot of boiling water and parboil for 10 minutes until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the dairy-free butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the dairy-free sour cream, shredded dairy-free cheddar cheese, and the can of dairy-free cream of mushroom soup. Mix well until the cheese is melted and everything is thoroughly combined.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir well to ensure even seasoning.
Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Layer half of the potato slices evenly in the bottom of the dish.
Pour half of the cheese mixture over the first layer of potatoes. Spread evenly with a spatula.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes and cheese mixture.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with green onions if using.
Serve warm as a comforting side dish.
