Patatas lionesas crujientes: un clásico francés

Ingredientes

• 2 lbs (900g) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
• 2 tbsp (30ml) unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp (15ml) unsalted butter
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Preparación

1. 1

   Peel and slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Rinse the sliced potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch; pat dry.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt; sauté until translucent and golden.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add olive oil and remaining butter; heat until shimmering. Layer the potatoes flat, season with salt and pepper, and cook undisturbed.

4. 4

   Once the potatoes are golden brown, flip and continue cooking until tender. Gently fold in the caramelized onions and heat through.

5. 5

   Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with fresh parsley if using, and enjoy hot!
