Lyonnaise means cooked or garnished with fried onions.
This French dish of pan-fried potatoes was invented in 1845 from a small town called Lyon, in a region called Rhone-Alpes in France.
The vegetarian dish not only pairs well with fish or roasted meat but also eggs.
Lyonnaise is crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.
The dish can be prepared in two ways: pan-frying or baking but we’ll opt for pan-frying this time.
