Description

This dish transforms humble white potatoes into a golden, crispy side dish inspired by Lyonnaise cuisine. The potatoes are first boiled until tender, then sliced and roasted with plenty of fat and sliced onions to achieve a perfect balance of soft interiors and crunchy exteriors. The aroma of roasting onions and black pepper fills the kitchen, creating an inviting atmosphere for dinner. It pairs beautifully with roast meats or hearty stews. While traditionally made with duck fat or butter, this recipe uses shortening for a rich, neutral flavor that allows the potatoes and onions to shine. It is a comforting, timeless addition to any family meal or holiday table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
  2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with salted boiling water.
  3. Boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Drain the potatoes well and allow them to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Slice the cooled potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  6. Slice the onions thinly and mix them with the potato slices in a large bowl.
  7. Add the shortening, salt, and black pepper to the potato and onion mixture, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
  8. Transfer the mixture to a large roasting pan (18 by 24 inches) and spread it out in a single layer.
  9. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are lightly browned and crispy on the edges.

Note

You can substitute fresh onions for dried ones; use approximately 1 lb 2 oz of fresh onions for this recipe.

For a traditional Lyonnaise flavor, consider using duck fat or beef tallow instead of shortening.

Ensure the potatoes are cooled slightly before slicing to prevent them from becoming mushy.

These potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
