Notes

  • Make sure to dice the potatoes into small cubes so that they cook evenly and don’t stick together.
  • You can also add in your favorite herbs or spices to create different flavors for this dish.
  • If you want a crunchier texture, you can use freshly cut potatoes instead of frozen ones.
  • To make this dish vegetarian, swap out the bacon for vegetables like mushrooms and bell peppers.
  • This is a great side dish to make ahead of time as it can be reheated easily before serving.
  • If you are looking to add more richness to your Lyonnaise potatoes, try adding some cream or grated cheese.
