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.
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.
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. :)
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
Hi ladies and gentlemen, I’ve been watching you all on tv Create for a very long time and when we changed cable company I was sad to know I didn’t get your channel but God is good and I found y’all here. I love all your recipes they are the best and I trust all the ingredients and tools you use. I’ve learned so much from you all. Thank you and keep cooking ... ❤️💐👩🍳
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 😂
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.
Knew that it was you before I read your name, Graham. When is your next vid, slacker? ⚘👍🙏👏❤👏🙏👍⚘ Love you! ❤❤❤❤❤ Know what you call a fork? A pot sticker (for baking...) Sorry-not-sorry! 😅
@@HannahMattox You have to sub to his channel! He's an awesome chef, his silly puns aside! ⚘👏⚘ Just Google clean silly jokes about whatever dish he's making and it's pay-back time.

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'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.
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 😆
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!
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.
NOPE...at 3:24 those potatoes look burned....not on plating, though ..might be my phone or You Tube vid......regardless, I am from a Southern family and these are staples and delicious! I love Cook's Country and America's Test Kitchen!
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. :-)
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?
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 😒
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.
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.
This is not the authentic "Pomme de Terre Lyonnaise". Not by a long shot. You fry MANY onions until caramelized. Then you fry, in same oil, each slice of potato. Place on paper towels and salt well. Then simply layer in casserole, onions, potatoes, onions, potatoes etc...Salting again between layers. Place in oven, with a half a cup of water, cover and allow to cook, stirring carefully to mix potatoes and onions. NO BUTTER, NO PARSELY. This recipe is the original from Lyon, which was given to my grandmother, in the 1950's, by one of the greatest French Chefs in Lyon, the birthplace of French cuisine. You will have a casserole full of the creamiest, sweetest most divine potatoes you have ever eaten.
It's still literally a platter. The definition for platter includes the words "typically round or oval". That means non round or oval things can in fact be a platter.

BA has been very diverse. It's overreaction. The allegations are questionable at best.

If a White person cooks something 'ethnic-ish', I feel like the flavors might go beyond the 'I like it because it is familiar', to something more a culinary treat.

I crave & make these all the time nice & thick with the onions but never knew they had a fancy name
It also works with actual leftover potatoes, you just have to start with the onions first.

The real secret is to
use (cooled) parboiled potatoes. Frying them raw will make them soggy and brown like these ones.
Oh yes, will be making these asap!
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.
Love this recipe. Thanks
Looks so yummy! Thanks guys.

should we wash the potatoes to remove some of the starch or not? Very good looking final product. Cheers
I just made them, they were delicious
I've been making these since I was a teenager although I just called them fried potatoes.
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?
Not purple...
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.

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.
So, fried potatoes are actually called "Lyonnaise" potatoes. Here I am calling it "Home Fries".

That is called "cooked potatoes" where I am from. It's a potato and some onions exposed to heat- so as to- cook it.
Paulie Walnuts and Christopher Moltisanti sent me here.
Parsley is meant to be added much sooner, not just as garnish.
I usually make these using half butter and half bacon drippings, but twice the potatoes. Are they still French?
Looks tasty and easy, but it's kind of tacky to say "get the recipe" and then require registration to really get it.
