Baking
- Pour the heavy cream over the layered potatoes.

For extra flavor, consider adding garlic to the sautéed onions. You can use any type of cheese you like; gouda or Monterey Jack work well too. Ensure the potato slices are evenly cut for consistent cooking. Layer in some cooked ham or bacon for a heartier dish.
