Caramelize the Onions
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, until the onions are soft and caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Hash Browns
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the grated potatoes, pressing them down to form an even layer. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

Add the Onions and Cheese
Flip the hash browns carefully (you can do this in sections if needed). Spread the caramelized onions over the top and sprinkle the smoked Gouda cheese evenly over the hash browns. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the other side is golden brown.
