I agree with Judith, I have made these for years. 1998 I am sure the original recipe came from Mr. Food I also add green peppers, minced garlic and a shake of paprika, The later years I have used the O'Brien frozen potatoes. Cook them in the Micro and even put them in the crock pot. When we would have a fish fry, mom would need to furnish these Lyonnaise potatoes. Look up the word and you will know where it came from. French-Lyon

I worked at a hospital several years ago and they served Lyonnaise potatoes on the menu 1-2x a month, except they also added green pepper. I loved them and still do.

I agree Peggy, these are plain and simple a southern or Southwest Country or Homefries. Trying to make these sound fancy enough to serve with a holiday meal is insane. Ha ha ha

I don't see anything "special" about these potatoes, they are simply homefries. Where did the name Lyonnaise come from anyway?

This sounds sooo good! Potatoes are my favorite food. Will give this a try.
