Lyonnaise Potatoes.

1 pint of cold boiled potato cubes.

1 level teaspoonful of salt.

1/8 of a teaspoonful of pepper.

1 level tablespoonful of butter.

1 teaspoonful of finely-minced onion.

1/2 teaspoonful of minced parsley.

Season the potatoes with the salt and pepper. Put the butter and onion in the frying-pan, and cook slowly until the onion begins to turn a delicate straw-color. Now add the potatoes, and cook over a hot fire for five minutes, stirring with a fork. Add the parsley, and cook for one minute longer. Serve very hot.
