caramelized potatoes

Caramelized potatoes is an Islandic (or Scandinavian) recipe that might be a very interesting idea for a Christmas menu. It gives a different, festive taste to the potatoes that everyone will appreciate very much. I found it some times ago when I was making FiskasÃºpa.

The inspiration comes from greedygourmet.

Ingredients:

500 grams potatoes
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of maple syrup (you may also use honey)
1 tablespoon of butter

Method:

Cook the potatoes, without peeling them.
After cooking, let them cool down, then peel the potatoes.
Melt the sugar with the maple syrup in a pan.
Add the butter.
When the butter is melted, add the potatoes and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes while regularly turning the potatoes.
Don't let it burn, because then it may become bitter.

BrÃºnaÃ°ar KartÃ¶flur is the Icelandic name for this dish. Other stunning surprising potato recipes are:
