Caramelised Potatoes (Sukkerbrunede Kartofler) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/4 lbs potatoes (1 kg)
6 tablespoons sugar (85 g)
5 tablespoons butter (75 g)

Preparation

Peel and dice potatoes then add them to a large sauce pan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil on high heat then reduce to a slow boil for 15 minutes. Rinse the potatoes in cold water and drip dry.
Melt the sugar in a frying pan until golden. Add the butter and put the potatoes in the mixture when the butter has stopped fizzing. Brown the potatoes over a brisk fire while stirring.
Caramelised potatoes are not suitable for re-heating, for then they will not become shiny, but dull and furry.
