Saute Potatoes with Onions (Pommes De Terre A La Lyonnaise) Recipes

Ingredients :

675g (1.5 lb) potatoes, scrubbed

salt and freshly milled black pepper

75g (3 oz) butter

15ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil

2 onions, skinned and thinly sliced

30ml (2 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley

Method :

Cook the potatoes in their skins in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water for about 20 minutes, or until they are just tender. Drain and leave until cool enough to handle. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 0.5cm (1/4 inch) thick slices.

Heat 50g (2 oz) of the butter and the oil in a large frying pan. Add the potatoes and cook them until they are crisp and golden brown, turning them several times. Heat the remaining butter in a small frying pan. Add the onions and cook for about 10 minutes until they are golden. Add the onions to the potatoes, stirring them in lightly. Season the mixture to taste and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve at once.

Serves 4-6
