They're probably expecting stationary HP sponges so hit them with a good number of skirmishing, mobile strikers. Or include monsters with very nasty status effects and make sure to hit the ones that are likely to catch them. Instead of targeting the Fighter with Poison on Con saves, target the Wizard with Stun on Constitution or the Cleric with Restrained vs Str/Dex ability check. Don't just lean into their strengths. If you want the monsters to put up a good challenge, lean into the monster's strength. White Dragons have burrow and swim speed so they'll be in snow filled caves with several underground water reservoirs. The dragon waits for its breath weapon to recharge while burrowed or underwater, then comes up to deliver their mightiest attack. All the while, their lair actions consistently thwart the common plans a party might have to bypass this tricky situation.</blockquote>
