Step-by-Step Instructions for French Onion Potato Bake

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or melted butter.
In a large mixing bowl, toss together the thinly sliced potatoes and onions. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle the French onion soup mix over the top.
Transfer the potato and onion mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Pour heavy cream evenly over the mixture, then sprinkle the shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. After this, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Once bubbly and golden, let it cool slightly for 5 minutes and then garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
