NORDIC SUGAR BROWNED POTATOES

Steps:

• Clean the potatoes but leave the peel on. Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water for about 15 minutes. Don't boil them too soft.
• Peel the potatoes using a knife. Let the potatoes cool off before you proceed. You can with advantage do this the day before you actually need the browned potatoes.
• Pour the sugar in an even layer on a cold frying pan. Turn on the stove at medium heat and let the sugar melt without stirring in it. Try to avoid using a frying pan with Teflon coating.
• When the sugar is melted add the butter to the pan and turn up to high heat. Add the potatoes to the sugar/butter mixture.
• Fry the potatoes in the sugar/butter mixture for about 5-7 minutes. Turn the potatoes constantly. If you are making these potatoes for your Christmas dinner and you have some extra duck grease - then add 1 dl (1/2 cup) of the grease to the pan with the potatoes. This will give the potatoes a great taste and a nice look.
• When the sugar is sticking evenly to the potatoes they are done.
