The Foodist: Potatoes Lyonnaise
Not gonna lie, this is one of my all-time favorite Rick meals at Mezzacello, The Foodist: Lyonnaise Potatoes. It is similar to his fantastic potator galette, but hot, crispy, smooth and loaded with flavor. He cooks it in a cast iron pan to really get that crispy maillard reactionand then finishes it in the oven that I replaced after I destroyed his old oven.
This is equally good reheated, although it can get greasy. Serve it for a brunch with a poached duck egg or as an appetizer with fresh goat cheese and a toothpick. This will be a crowd pleaser, fresh herbs are best, but dried will work.

The Foodist: Homemade Rosemary Lasagna
