Pommes De Terre Lyonnaise(Sauteed Potatoes With Onions)
Golden sautéed potatoes with caramelized onions deliver comforting flavors, perfect as a side dish for family dinners or casual gatherings with rich butter and savory seasoning.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook the unpeeled potatoes in boiling water for 20 minutes. Drain, cool, peel, and slice into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
- Heat butter and oil in a skillet until bubbling subsides.
- Add the potato slices and onion slices to the skillet and cook until golden brown, turning gently 2 or 3 times, about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or parsley during cooking. If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, swap half the butter for olive oil. You can also use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture. Slicing the potatoes uniformly ensures even cooking and browning, so a mandoline can be a handy tool.
Serving Suggestions
Pommes de Terre Lyonnaise pairs beautifully with Beef Stroganoff Ii or grilled meats for a hearty meal. Serve alongside a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness. For a comforting brunch, consider serving these potatoes with scrambled eggs or as a side to Jewish Bread for a delightful combination.
Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use peeled potatoes instead of unpeeled?
While you can use peeled potatoes, leaving the skin on gives added texture and flavor. The skin also helps the potatoes hold their shape while cooking. If you prefer a smoother texture, feel free to peel them, but be mindful that the cooking time may vary slightly.
What type of onion works best for this recipe?
Yellow onions are the most common choice for this dish due to their balanced sweetness. However, you can also use sweet onions like Vidalia for a milder flavor, or red onions for a bit of color and a sharper taste. Each type will bring its unique flavor profile to the dish.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
While it's best served fresh, you can prepare the potatoes and onions in advance and store them separately. Reheat them just before serving for the best texture. If making ahead, consider undercooking slightly to prevent them from becoming mushy when reheated.
