Cook potatoes in their jackets the day before you plan to serve them. The next day, peel and dice them into 1/2-inch cubes or grate on coarsest side of grater. You will need about 9 cups.

Peel onions. Cook in boiling salted water until tender. Drain.

Melt butter in a large skillet. Blend in flour. When smooth, add milk and light cream. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Add both cheeses. Stir and cook gently until cheese melts. Season with pepper, seasoned salt, onion powder and garlic. Mix with cooked potatoes and onions and pour into one large shallow casserole dish or individual ramekins, depending on the menu you plan to serve. Bake in a moderate oven, 350°, until bubbly and lightly patched with brown. The large casserole will take about 45 min.
