1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10 x 15 x 2-inch (10 cup) baking dish.
2. Cut the bulbs in half lengthwise and slice them crosswise, making approximately 4 cups of sliced fennel. Put the olive oil and butter in a medium (10-inch) sauté pan and sauté the fennel and onions together over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, until tender.
3. Thinly slice the potatoes by hand or with a mandoline. Place them in a large bowl with the 2 cups of cream, 2 cups of Gruyère, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Add the fennel and onion mixture and mix well.
4. Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press down lightly to smooth the top. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of cream and ½ cup of Gruyère and sprinkle evenly on the top. Bake for between 1 and 1¼ hours, until the potatoes are very tender and the top is browned and bubbly. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and serve hot.
