Trouble executing command from alias [duplicate]

How can I write a PowerShell alias with arguments in the middle?

I want to create a shortcut for opening my users' profile.ps1 file in notepad from powershell. I can execute the command "Start-Process notepad $SaveAl" without issue and the file opens down at the bottom, but when I try to reference that command in my 'sval' alias, it doesn't recognize the path.
I've tried replacing $SaveAl with the full path it points to but the outcome is identical to the error I get.
Worst case I can just pin the folder to taskbar/quick access but it comes in handy when I'm working within powershell.
Is there something about aliases I'm not understanding?
