Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8-inch thick) using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
Layer half of the potato slices in the prepared baking dish, overlapping them slightly.
Pour half of the cream mixture evenly over the potatoes and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and cheese, ensuring the top layer is fully covered with cheese.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let the dish cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
