Category: Sweet Potatoes
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

2 lb small, firm potatoes
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter

Wash the potatoes, place into a deep pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, just until tender. Remove from heat, pour off water and rinse potatoes in cold water. Peel off skins and set aside. (This can be done up to 4 hours ahead). Refrigerate potatoes until needed.

Before serving, in a heavy skillet over medium heat, melt the sugar, when the sugar turns light brown around the edges, add the butter and stir until melted. (You need to do it in this order or the sauce will not work. Do not melt the sugar and butter together or it congeals.)

Rinse the peeled potatoes in cold water. Drain well and add them to the caramelized butter-sugar mixture. Cook, shaking the pan often, until potatoes are evenly glazed and heated through, about 10 minutes. Serves 8 to 12

Note: For savory potatoes, simply eliminate the sugar and you will end up with nicely browned potatoes.
