Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 5mm thick. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel and finely slice the onion into thin rings.
In a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan or skillet with a lid, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the onion slices to the pan and cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned.
Layer the potato slices over the softened onions, slightly overlapping them like shingles. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper evenly over the potatoes.
Pour the chicken or vegetable stock into the pan, making sure the liquid just reaches the top layer of potatoes. If necessary, add a little more stock or water.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the potatoes simmer gently for 30-35 minutes until they are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Occasionally check to ensure the liquid hasnβt evaporated completelyβadd a splash of water if needed.
Once the potatoes are tender and have absorbed the flavors of the broth, taste and adjust for seasoning if necessary.
Optional: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a touch of brightness and color.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy it on its own.
