Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs Russet potatoes
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 small yellow onions thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp garlic minced
- 6 Tbsp butter divided
- 1 Tbsp fresh parsley finely minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius).
- Peel the potatoes and cut into ¼ inch slices.
- Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Allow the potatoes to boil for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onions and sauté until lightly caramelized. Then, add the garlic and sauté until the garlic has softened.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a bowl in the microwave and add it to the bottom of a square baking dish (8x8" or 9x9").
- Next, layer ⅓ of the potatoes on the bottom of the pan on top of the butter and season with salt and pepper. Then, add about ½ of the onions on top of this first potato layer.
- After that, add another ⅓ of the potatoes on top of the onions and season with salt and pepper, then add the second half of the onions to the dish.
- Next, add the last ⅓ of potatoes to the top of the dish and season with salt and pepper. Then melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and drizzle over the top of the dish.
- Then, bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are ever so slightly brown and cooked until they are tender.
- Finally, sprinkle with fresh parsley, serve, and enjoy!

Notes
- To store Lyonnaise Potatoes leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. While freezing is possible, it may affect the texture, making the potatoes slightly grainy upon reheating. If you choose to freeze them, use a freezer-safe container, and they can last for up to 1 month.
- To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for about 10-15 minutes, or until thoroughly warmed through, to help retain their crispiness.
