🥔 Why This Recipe Works (The Science of Hands-Off Comfort)

Farmhouse Secret	Why It Matters
Undisturbed layers	Creates a delicate golden crust on top while potatoes steam gently below—no stirring = no broken layers
Onion alchemy	Thin slices release natural sugars slowly, caramelizing in their own juices to sweeten the whole dish
Broth over water	Low-sodium broth adds savory depth without waterlogging; steam cooks potatoes evenly
Yukon Golds vs. Russets	Yukon Golds hold shape for clean slices; Russets break down slightly for creamier texture
