For an even tastier variation, you can also try oven-caramelized potatoes: the method is similar, but the surface turns out even crispier.

Method

  1. To make the Caramelized Potatoes, start by boiling the potatoes in a high-sided pot for about ten minutes. While you wait for the potatoes to be ready, heat the butter with the sugar in a skillet, stir with a wooden spoon for about a minute and lower the heat to the minimum: once the potatoes are ready, add them to the pan, season with salt to taste and cook over medium heat for about ten minutes.
  2. Swirl the pan from time to time, so you won’t have to touch the potatoes and risk breaking them, and the caramel won’t stick to the spoon: shortly before the end of cooking, add a sprig of rosemary for flavor, transfer the Caramelized Potatoes to a serving dish and serve them piping hot.
