POTATOES
Use old potatoes for this recipe,
King Edward,
Desiree or Maris Piper are excellent varieties to choose. Want to grow your own potatoes? We
recommend Jamieson Brothers Annan as value for money seed potato suppliers.
| Peel then boil the potatoes for 20 minutes so that they are cooked but
still firmish.
Cool them under running water for a few minutes, then slice them (click on the right hand picture to enlarge it and see the slices more clearly). |

|
|
While the potatoes are boiling, peel the onions and cut them into thin slices.
Heat two tablespoons of the olive oil in a frying pan on a medium heat, add the sliced onions and fry them until they are a golden brown colour. This will take about ten minutes, keep turning them to ensure they are evenly cooked. |
|
Remove the fried onions from the pan, add the remaining two tablespoons of
olive oil and the potatoes. If your frying pan is not big enough you may
need to fry the potatoes in two batches. Lightly sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper and fry until they are golden brown. Turn occasionally so that they are cooked on both sides (ten to fifteen minutes). |
|
 |
When the potatoes are golden brown, add the onions back to the frying pan and
mix. Cook for a further three minutes.
Place the Lyonnaise potatoes in a serving dish and garnish with a couple of sprigs of parsley. |
