This is a fast and easy version. My grandma and parents always made their own egg noodle dough and cut it into squares which they then boiled - Reams noodles give the same taste, but not the same texture).
Boil diced potatoes and set aside. Boil the noodles and set aside.
In a large saucepan, saute the onions until they are brown or almost getting crunchy and burned looking. Then stir in the heavy cream.
Cook on medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the cream thickens to a gravy-like consistency.
In a bowl, put a layer of the noodles, some diced potatoes, and the cream sauce over it. You can also stir in cottage cheese if you like.
Caution - most likely elevates your cholesterol!! We never have it more than once a year but my family loves it.
