Recipe - Girardets Lyonnaise Potatoes

500 g New potatoes; 1 pound 2 oz
100 g Onions; 3 One half oz
2 tablespoon Oil
Salt
Pepper

Note This dish is simple enough as long as your frying pan is very large,
the oil is very hot and the potatoes are cooked in one layer only.

Preparation

Peel the potatoes and slice them finely 2mm (1/16 in) thick with a
mandoline. A food processor will do as well, as long as the slices are
thin.

Peel the onions. Slice them finely too, and separate the rings in each
slice.

Finishing

Heat the oil in a large frying pan.

Season the potatoes and onions.

Put the slices of potato into the pan first and saute them quickly, turning
them over several times, for 2 minutes. Add the onions and continue
cooking, still stirring and turning, for 34 minutes more, until both
potatoes and onions are crisp and golden.
