Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees/Gas 6).
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the potatoes, and parboil them for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside. Heat some olive oil in a pan and fry the onions gently with the thyme leaves until meltingly soft. Add the balsamic vinegar and remove from heat. Remove onions to a plate.
- Using the same pan (no need to wash it), lay half the potatoes in the bottom and season with salt and pepper. Follow with the onions in 1 layer, seasoning again, then the rest of the potatoes. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
CLASSIC LYONNAISE POTATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring the potatoes up to a boil and blanch for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, drain, and cool. In a large ovenproof saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Saute the onions until caramelized, about 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the onions into a bowl. Place the pan back on the stove and melt the stick of butter. When the butter has melted, cover the bottom of the pan with 1/3 of the potatoes.
- Season with salt and pepper. Cover the first layer of potatoes with 1/2 of the onions. Cover the onions with 1/3 of the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat the layering until all of the potatoes and onions are used. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the potatoes out of the pan and place on a platter. Garnish with parsley.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, making them ideal for potato cakes.
- Cook the potatoes thoroughly: Undercooked potatoes will make the potato cakes mushy. Make sure to cook them until they are fork-tender.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth: Lumpy potatoes will make the potato cakes unevenly cooked. Make sure to mash them until they are completely smooth.
- Season the potatoes well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper to the potatoes. This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help to create a crispy crust on the potato cakes.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the potato cakes will not cook evenly. Make sure to leave enough space between each potato cake.
- Flip the potato cakes carefully: Potato cakes are delicate, so be careful when flipping them. Use a spatula that is wide enough to support the entire potato cake.
- Serve the potato cakes immediately: Potato cakes are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Potato cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect potato cakes every time.
