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.
