Icelandic Caramel Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the potatoes, removing any dirt and eyes, then cut each potato in half and cut those halves into chunks.
- Bring a quart of water to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and place the potato chunks in the pot. Cover and let cook for 20-25 minutes until they are tender but not mushy.
- Drain all the water off the potatoes and let them sit in the colander for about 5 minutes to ensure they dry out.
- In a frying pan, place the 5 tablespoons of sugar and heat until it melts and becomes syrupy, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
- When the sugar reaches a rich golden color, stir in the 3 tablespoons of butter until fully combined and removed from heat.
- Carefully roll the potato pieces in the caramel sauce until each piece is fully coated, then serve warm.
