Select potatoes of uniform size and wash without peeling or pare only a thin skin. Drop into cold water to prevent browning. Boil in salted water until fork tender, then drain, dry, and salt. Keep hot until serving. If boiling with jackets on, pare a narrow band from the center to aid peeling.

Lyonnaise Potatoes Quick Pan Method

A quick Lyonnaise style dish. Sauté 5 minutes in fat with a small onion sliced thin. Add 3 cold boiled potatoes sliced 1/4 inch, salt and pepper. Mix with onion and fat until browned on the bottom. Fold like an omelet and serve on a hot platter.
