LYONNAISE POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Place sliced potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Allow to boil 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
• Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in olive oil, then add onions. Saute until lightly caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and saute until onions are deep brown and garlic is soft. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
• Place skillet back on stove over low heat. Melt butter, then cover bottom of pan with 1/3 of potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover potatoes with 1/2 of onion mixture. Cover with 1/2 of remaining potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Spread with the rest of onion mixture. Cover with remaining potatoes, and season with more salt and pepper.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and browned on top. Remove from oven and use a spatula to carefully transfer potatoes to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley just before serving.

LYONNAISE POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the sliced onions, olive oil and half the butter in your largest frying pan. Cook over a low-medium heat until the onions are super-soft but not golden-brown yet - this might take up to 30-35 minutes.
• Meanwhile bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Slice the potatoes into 1cm/½ in thick slices. Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and when the water has returned to the boil, set your timer for 3 minutes. Drain immediately and leave in the colander to steam dry. Heat the oven to 200C/180C/Gas 6.
• When the onions are done, remove from the heat and stir through the parsley and thyme with the garlic and some generous seasoning. Gently toss the onion mixture and par-boiled potatoes together - you can do this in the frying pan if they fit, or a large mixing bowl.
• Tip everything into a large baking dish - you don't want the mixture to sit any deeper than 5cm/2in. Arrange and press the top down a little to roughly flatten. Dot the remaining butter all over the top.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden-brown and crisp, and the potatoes cooked through. A little extra garnish of chopped parsley and fresh thyme is nice, but not strictly necessary.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter a 2 quart flame proof casserole or gratin dish.
• Peel the potatoes and hold them in cold water until ready to proceed with the recipe.
• Combine the garlic, cream, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Dry the potatoes fully and cut them into rounds, beginning at one end, using a mandoline. Set the blade on the mandoline to cut a thin, 1/8-inch thick, slice. Place the potato slices into the gratin dish carefully layering them in a circular fashion. Pour the seasoned cream over the potatoes and shake the dish gently to allow the cream to flow towards the bottom of the dish.
• Place the gratin dish on the stovetop over low heat and begin to warm the contents until the cream has begun to simmer. Cook the potatoes in the seasoned cream for 5 minutes and then place the gratin dish into the oven.
• Bake the potatoes for 45 to 60 minutes until the top has browned to a rich golden color and the cream is bubbling along the side of the dish.
• Remove the gratin from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
