A delightful twist on a classic Scandinavian side dish, these caramelized potatoes are a perfect blend of sweet and savory.
Peel and boil the potatoes until just tender, then drain and let them cool slightly.
Boiling the potatoes beforehand ensures they cook evenly during caramelization.
In a heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until it dissolves and forms a smooth caramel.
Stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning.
Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the caramel.
Shake the skillet occasionally to ensure even coating.
Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and serve warm.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
