connie's lyonnaise potatoes
Crispy, buttery, and yummy, these simple skillet potatoes are a staple in my home. I remember my mom making them when I was a child. I don't know where the recipe originated. It's a great recipe for when the oven is holding a roast and you need to make the potatoes on the stove. A great alternative to mashed potatoes.

If you're looking for a different side dish for the holidays or a roast meal, try these Lyonnaise potatoes. Traditionally, they're parboiled, then fried with butter and onions. While this recipe isn't boiled first, the potatoes still become soft inside and crisp around the edges. The sliced onions caramelize while cooking. Similar to cottage fried potatoes, these are a quick and easy side dish for any occasion.
