SUGAR-GLAZED POTATOES
from
the SCANDINAVIAN FEASTS
2 pounds 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).
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. 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. Makes 8 servings.
