Pommes de terre lyonnaise, also known as Lyonnaise potatoes, is a classic French dish that is both flavorful and easy to prepare. It consists of sliced potatoes that are fried until golden brown and then tossed in a mixture of butter, parsley, and onions. The resulting dish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich and savory flavor. Pommes de terre lyonnaise is typically served as a side dish to grilled or roasted meats, but it can also be enjoyed on its own as a vegetarian main course.

Steps:
- Make duchesse potatoes:
- Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces. Cover potatoes with cold salted water by 1 inch in a 2-quart pot, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain potatoes in a colander and return to pot. Dry potatoes by shaking pot over low heat until all moisture is evaporated and a film begins to appear on bottom of pot, about 2 minutes.
- Force potatoes through ricer into a bowl. Add butter, whole egg and yolk, salt, and pepper and stir with a wooden spoon until very smooth. Keep potato mixture warm, covered.
- Make pâte à choux:
- Bring water, butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over high heat, then reduce heat to moderate.
- Add flour all at once and stir briskly with a wooden spoon until mixture pulls away from side of pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly, about 3 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, stirring well after each addition. Add potato mixture and stir until combined well. Transfer mixture to pastry bag.
- Form and fry potatoes:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
- Heat 2 inches oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until thermometer registers 370°F.
- Resting metal tip of pastry bag on edge of pot, pipe 8 (2-inch) lengths of potato mixture directly into oil (use caution when piping into hot oil), using a small knife or kitchen shears to cut off each length of dough at tip of bag. Fry potatoes, turning over once with a slotted spoon, until crisp, golden, and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly. Fry remaining potato mixture in batches in same manner.
- Transfer potatoes as fried and drained to a metal rack set in a large shallow baking pan in oven to keep them crisp and warm until ready to serve.

Tips:
- To achieve perfectly crispy potatoes, use a combination of butter and oil for frying. Butter adds flavor, while oil helps the potatoes brown evenly.
- Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly to ensure they cook uniformly. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the potatoes from sticking together.
- When frying the potatoes, maintain a medium-high heat throughout the process. This will promote even cooking and prevent the potatoes from absorbing too much oil.
- Stir the potatoes occasionally while frying to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
- Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the heat and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Season the potatoes immediately with salt and pepper, or your preferred seasonings, while they are still hot.
