Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the unpeeled potatoes in salted water for about 15 minutes until just tender, then drain, cool slightly, and slip off the skins with your fingers.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle the sugar evenly into a cold, wide skillet and melt it slowly over medium heat without stirring, swirling the pan occasionally until it turns a light amber caramel.

  3. 3

    Add the butter and stir to combine into a smooth glaze, working quickly so the caramel does not seize or scorch.

  4. 4

    Add the peeled potatoes and the salt, then gently roll and shake the pan continuously for 6 to 8 minutes so each potato becomes evenly coated and glossy with the caramel.

  5. 5

    Transfer to a serving dish, scraping any remaining glaze over the top, and serve hot alongside roast pork or duck.
