- 2 cans small new potatoes (you can find these in a can with canned veggies)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
Recipe Tips:
- ***UPDATE: We have actually found that it is easier to add the sugar and butter in the pan at the same time and let it all melt together until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep caramel color. This way you can actually stir it without ruining it. In fact, it is best if you stir it often so it doesn't burn. This isn't the "authentic" way, but we have found the end result is the same!
- It's totally okay to use canned "new potatoes". It is SO much easier than peeling all the little potatoes and then boiling them for just the right amount of time. Trust me, we have tried it all the ways.
- Leave the sugar alone. When cooking the sugar you will want to let it caramelize without stirring it. If you mess with it too much, it will get clumpy.
