I am an avid fan of Americas Test Kitchen. I've watched on PBS for years. I always wanted to be apart of you research and development crew. As a trained chef from Le Cordon Bleu, I still refer to your recipes as my gospel. I'm now back in my home country of the Bahamas and I cook and bake for the locals and have received great reception. I just wanted to thank you for always getting it right. And by the way this is my first time seeing Lawman Johnson...he's quite the cutie. Love his screen presence and demeanor.
After watching this episode when it aired on television, this recipe has become a staple side dish in my household. Besides being delicious, it is easy and quick to make. In addition, when I have any leftovers I use them next morning for breakfast with scrambled eggs.
Who knew those fried potatoes my Irish mother cooked on the regular when I was growing up was actually called some fancy French name... And here we just called it fried potatoes...

Yeah, well, when you cook them this way, with onions, you’re cooking them the way they’re cooked and appreciated in Lyon, France, regardless of how they fry potatoes in Ireland or how much of a chip you have on your shoulder and how insecure you are for being common.

In France we also say fried potatoes as pomme sautées and it's a "popular" dish. I don't know why people found French language so fancy and make us appear like posh people. It's just one of the many many potatoes recipe we have. Here from the city of Lyon, but we have way better option like cooked in duck fat. There's great potatoes recipe everywhere in the world. :)
I just so happen to have ALL the ingredients on hand for this ; Lucky me 😲. Thank you.
I just LOVE watching America's Test Kitchen...my favorite cooking show....been a fan for many years! Thanks for sharing....yall are the best!!!
I " LOVE " potatoes. My mom made these she learned it from her mom so it's been in my family well over 100 years and it's still just as great. Never knew the name. Grandma came to America as an adult from Poland and it came with her. Thank you for sharing
I have always wanted a good go to recipe ever since I heard of Lyonnaise Potatoes in the movie Every Girl Should Be Married. They are Cary Grants favorites when real life wife Betsy Drake is learning all of his favorite things. Thank ATK! Happy cooking everyone.
When doing a Sunday roast I cook extra potatoes to keep for Monday. Slice in thin rounds and fry until brown. This is known here in Wales as scallop potatoes. Yummy! 😊😊

Scalloped potatoes, in my world, are sliced potatoes simmered in a sauce made from milk, butter, and flour. Some folks add cheese to it, but I consider that potatoes au gratin
Love this recipe. Thanks

No, they are not “classic German fried potatoes.” If they were, they’d have a German name and not a French one. In Lyon, France, bacon would not be added either.

Keith Bloomfield-DeWeese How funny to think I'm wrong just because of the name😆. I have to know, I'm German and have always made these potatoes this way, just like my mother and her mother. And you can do that with the bacon, but you don't have to.
I will be making this tomorrow! Thanks.
Great simple recipe, thank you!

Okay this recipe was great! My family dinner tonight: Natalie’s cast iron baked chicken Dan’s butter braised veggies (I used green beans) not spring yet Lawman’s Lyonnaise potatoes Dinner in less than 45 minutes and totally delicious The family LOVED dinner and no leftovers 😂
I know them as smotherd potatos. Family have been making for generations
I crave & make these all the time nice & thick with the onions but never knew they had a fancy name
A favorite vegan/Lenten dish for us is russets, thinly sliced and sautéed slowly with onions in vegetable oil. I'll try this delicious looking version with Yukon Golds. Thanks for the tip about how to slice the onions.
I just made them, they were delicious
Perfect 😋👍
Fried potatoes and onions.....how sophisticated.
I've made this recipe twice now, on two different (electric) stoves, and both times it has taken way, way longer than the recipe suggests to get even a fraction of the color. Usually I can follow the ATK/CC recipes as-is but for this one I think I'll be boosting my temps up a bit to try and get the same results.

This is a *very* good technique. I needed more like 17 minutes to finish the onions, but that's probably down to what I call "medium low" heat. I think the very best result comes from caramelizing the onions separately and parboiling the potatoes before browning them, but that is a lot more work and a lot more dishes, as opposed to this clever procedure that takes one pan and almost cooks itself.
This channel has brought me a lot of joy during this quarantine. Thankies!!!

Good job Lawman! You made this look like something I could do. It does mean, however, that I will need to turn on my stove 😄I'm not much of a cook - I use my microwave and toaster oven most of the time, so you can imagine how wonderful my cooking is 😒
I've been doing these for years, I use extra virgin olive oil with butter( sometimes just butter) and left over potatoes and fry, then add onion fry, then the last five minutes I sometimes (usually) will add garlic 😆
So, fried potatoes are actually called "Lyonnaise" potatoes. Here I am calling it "Home Fries".
Look forward to making these yummy looking potatoes but please tell me where I can get that awesome lid. Thank you!

Ha! I thought for sure they'd have it in the description box. Nope. I googled "Endurance pot lid" and got some results.
It also works with actual leftover potatoes, you just have to start with the onions first.
And if you’re familiar with the film “Midnight Run”, this will be a special episode...
These easy to cook,
I always make a 7 to 9 bone prime rib roast at Christmas with French onion soup and lyonaise potatoes. I want to see if this is a recipe I might want to use this year. All of my family on both sides are deceased so it will be a seven bone prime rib roast and I will make quite a bit of food so that I can vacuum seal and enjoy it until spring. :-)
I always add chopped garlic too 😋

My mom calls them potato coins. Love cooking these in bacon grease in cast iron pan.
No one likes burnt onions?! In Goa, India, we have a white rice dish called Pulao (similar to the Italian Risotto, but dry) which is often garnished with burnt onion. Just a sprinkling of finely sliced onion after transferring the Pulao to a serving dish, so it's not actually mixed with the rice, but is sprinkled on the top. But yes, burnt onion. Also, this potato recipe looks fantastic. Definitely going to try this. Thank you!
I’m running out right now to buy some Yukon golds so I can try this! Does it matter what kind of onion you use?

Use whatever you like. I like to use sweet onions with potatoes; a Bermuda onion is fine, but I like Walla Walla sweet onions the best for this.
Burnt onions are delicious
A new handsome chef. And can cook too. 👀💜
I've been making these since I was a teenager although I just called them fried potatoes.
Fantastic recipe. I'm wondering whether the potatoes were boiled first to soften them up? Many videos I've seen call for boiling them for 6 to 7 minutes. Is this even necessary or does it depend on the type of potato used?
@sammiew06
Жыл бұрын
I boil the potatoes whole for 5 minutes and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and salt to the water, bring to a boil and add potatoes.
The real secret is to use (cooled) parboiled potatoes. Frying them raw will make them soggy and brown like these ones.
Although they’d never pass muster in the French kitchen, these dumbed-down potatoes and onions are certainly easy. It looks like they’d satisfy a basic craving, even without the classical French refinement and care.
Looks delicious but I must say I love burnt onions and stop judging me for it.

The only thing I don't double is my potatoes because once they thaw they get weird. I wonder if they would be okay to freeze with my vacuum sealer? Freeze them first and then put them into bags vacuum seal them and put them in the freezer. I know that potatoes in a beef stew come out funky once frozen.
Hi!
They are just Country Fries. We make them in the restaurant biz throw them in the frier and some onions. Season to taste for the fast way.
...mmmmmmmmmm!
I have made these with duck fat and with butter. Duck fat is potatoes best friend! :-)
Interesting. I had always thought Lyonnaise potatoes were thin sliced layered in a baking dish with onions and oven roasted with a liquid. I usually use chicken stock. Similar to American scalloped potatoes.
