Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces Canned whole potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned potatoes under cold water to remove excess brine.
Pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure proper caramelization.
In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat until melted and slightly foamy.
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until it dissolves, creating a smooth caramel mixture.
Carefully add the dried canned potatoes to the skillet, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer.
Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are evenly coated in the caramel mixture and develop a golden brown crust.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste, and toss gently to ensure even seasoning.
Transfer the caramelized potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a delectable side dish.
