Potatoes coated in a buttery sugar toffee are quite a change from our more savoury traditions adn, in Denmark the best potatoes - it is said - are coated with enough sugar to soak in . With pork they are delicious.
Ingredients
- 1.5 kilograms baby new potatoes, washed
- ½ cup sugar
- 75-100 grams butter
Method
- Place the baby new potatoes into a large saucepan of salted cold water and bring slowly to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes or until almost tender. Drain and set aside.
- Scatter the sugar over the base of a large heavy based frying pan and place over a low heat and allow the sugar to melt very slowly. Do not rush this process. Once the sugar has all melted - it will be a light brown caramel colour, stir in the butter.
- Carefully add (the caramel is hot) the well-drained potatoes and toss or turn to coat in the caramel. Cover and keep warm, at almost a gentle bubble, for 10-15 minutes, turning regularly. Do not use too high a heat as the caramel will burn.
- Serve the potatoes dripping with caramel.
