  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper (or black pepper)

  • 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh rosemary

Instructions

  2. In a thick-bottomed sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and cook until golden brown (15-20 minutes).
  3. In a large bowl, combine thinly sliced potatoes, remaining olive oil, ½ cup Gruyere cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Toss gently.
