Description

These easy, buttery, 4-ingredient Lyonnaise Potatoes are the perfect French inspired side dish with crispy potatoes, caramelised onions and fresh chives.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 600g new potatoes
  • sea salt
  • 1 small onion
  • 20g unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling, salted water until they’re tender. If they’re particularly big half the potatoes before you cook them; if not, simply halve them once they’re drained and just cool enough to touch.
  2. Meanwhile, finely slice the onion into half moons. Warm half the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, for 15 minutes until soft and golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Melt the remaining butter in the pan and turn the heat up to medium high. Add the potatoes and a good pinch of salt. Fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the cut sides and some of the potato skins are golden brown.
  4. Stir in the cooked onions, cook for a further minute until they are warmed through. Stir in the chives just before stirring.
