In cookery, the term 'lyonnaise' indicates which particular vegetable is used in a dish?
À la Lyonnaise is a French cooking term used to describe a dish that uses onions in some way. “À la Lyonnaise” means in the style of Lyons, France.
In the grande cuisine sense, it means either a side accompaniment of onions that are stuffed and braised, plus potatoes, or garnished with chopped onions that have been sautéed in butter, then had a bit of vinegar and chopped parsley stirred into them.

I'm up to 4 days in a row where I've answered a question and there hasn't been a comment from George Oliver Prince. He comments on everything - I hope he's okay, and hasn't fallen upon ill health or had a family emergency or something.

Think of it as potatoes that have been lyonaised.

I've avoided "Lyonnaise" since I don't particularly like onions.

Lyonnaise means coming from Lyon and is usually associated with potatoes

It's finely sliced potatoes sautéed in a pan with finely sliced onions in butter
