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.

Steps:
- Buy small firm potatoes. Wash the potatoes, place them in a deep pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or just until tender. Remove the pot from the heat, pour off the water, and rinse the potatoes in cold water. When the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, peel off their skins and set aside.
- In a heavy frying pan or 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 the potatoes and add them to the caramelized butter sugar mixture. Cook the potatoes, shaking the pan often, until the potatoes are evenly glazed and heated through, which will take about 10 minutes. 6 servings.
