Method:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Cut onions in half and slice into strips. Separate the pieces of onion. Heat olive oil in cast iron skillet on med-high heat.

8. Carefully pour the heavy cream and chicken/veggie stock over the layered potatoes.

9. Add pinch of salt or two and sprinkle over the top of layered potatoes.

10. Top with the remaining gruyere and parmesan cheese.
