Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Equipment

  • Pot
  • Frying Pan With high sides or roasting pot

Ingredients

  • 1 kg Potato Peeled asparagus potatoes
  • 100-125 gram Sugar
  • 40-50 gram Butter
  • 50 gram Water preferably the cooking water from the potatoes
  • 100 gram Cream
  • 6 gram Salt
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes. They should not be completely cooked.
  • Peel the potatoes.
  • In a pan with high sides, or in a roasting pot, melt the sugar over medium heat. Keep an eye on the sugar at all times. It must not burn. Avoid stirring the sugar while it melts as it will crystallize.
  • When the sugar has melted into a caramel, add butter, water, cream, and salt. Let it boil until you have a uniform relatively thin mixture.
  • Add the potatoes and let them glaze in the mixture for about 10 minutes. The thin sugar mixture will gradually thicken and adhere to the potatoes.
  • When the browned potatoes are almost done, add a little freshly ground black pepper.
