Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds Russet potatoes
• 2 medium-sized, thinly sliced Yellow onions
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the peeled and sliced potatoes into a large pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water and add a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender but still holding their shape. Drain the potatoes well and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until they become golden brown and caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the cooked potato slices to the skillet in a single layer (you may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding). Cook the potatoes for 3-5 minutes per side or until golden and slightly crisp.

Step 7

Return the caramelized onions to the skillet, gently tossing them with the potatoes to combine.

Step 8

Season the potatoes and onions with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Transfer the Lyonnaise potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
