DANISH CARAMEL POTATOES
Sticky, sweet and such a treat, these potatoes, inspired by a classic sweet-and-savory Danish dish, are a must try. True to their title, the potatoes are actually tossed with a homemade caramel sauce-don't worry, it's just sugar and butter. A clever technique developed by the Betty Crocker Kitchens makes quick work of a tricky step. Where most traditional recipes call for combining the potatoes with hot caramel on your stovetop, where it's easy to burn the caramel and make a mess, this version calls for combining them in the oven. So you'll end up with creamy potatoes coated in rich caramel, with barely any fuss. We highly recommend serving these alongside pork and cabbage, as the Danes traditionally do at Christmastime.

When cool enough to handle, carefully peel potatoes by hand; discard peels.

Steps:
- Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch in a 3-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander and cool slightly. When potatoes are just cool enough to handle (but are still very warm), peel and cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges.
- Cook sugar in a 12-inch heavy skillet, undisturbed, over moderate heat until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar melts into a golden caramel. Add butter and salt, stirring until butter is melted. Add potato wedges, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula from bottom of skillet to coat potatoes with caramel (caramel will seize and form small clumps), and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are heated through and any clumps of caramel have melted to coat potatoes evenly, 10 to 12 minutes.
Tips:
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to ensure the potatoes have enough room to cook evenly.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook at the same rate.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet or Dutch oven with potatoes or they will steam instead of fry.
- Cook the potatoes over medium heat to prevent them from burning.
- Stir the potatoes occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the heat and drain them on paper towels.
- Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Danish Caramel Potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sweet and slightly caramelized flavor. These potatoes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
