Step 1
Cut potatoes into 0.5-inch cubes. Boil in salted water 8 minutes until just tender.
Step 2
Boil pasta in salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Sauté onion slices 5 minutes until golden and crispy at edges.
Step 4
Add cooked potatoes and pasta to the skillet. Stir in both cheeses, cream, salt, and pepper until melted and creamy.
Step 5
Cook 2 minutes, stirring gently, until the mixture is hot and cohesive—it should be creamy, not dry.
Step 6
Divide into bowls. Top with chives. Serve immediately while the cheese is molten.
