How to make Lyonnaise Potatoes!
Ingredients:
1. 1 lb small gold potatoes, thinly sliced
2. 1 onion, julienned
3. 4 tbsp duck fat or clarified butter
4. Salt and pepper to taste
5. 2 tbsp fresh thyme, minced
Instructions:
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt, so it is salty but not as salty as the ocean. Boil the potatoes for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
2. While the potatoes are boiling, heat 1 Tbsp of clarified butter in a large stainless steel pan over medium heat. Add the onions and caramelize them, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. This will take 20-30 minutes. Deglaze with water as needed if dark brown spots form on the pan. Turn the heat to low midway through cooking. Add salt towards the end once the onions are caramelized. Turn off the heat and remove the onions.
3. In a cast iron or nonstick pan over medium heat, add 3 Tbsp of clarified butter. Once warm, add the potatoes and stir occasionally, allowing them to get golden brown on each side, which takes roughly 10-15 minutes. Once golden, add the caramelized onions, thyme, and pepper. Taste for salt and season accordingly.
4. Serve and enjoy!
