Instructions: Drop unpeeled potatoes in a pan of boiling water. Cook 15-20 mins. Or till easy to peel. Melt 1/2-cup sugar into a 12-inch skillet. Cook slowly for 3-5 mins. Until sugar turns a light brown caramel color. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon & watch sugar closely. The syrup changes color very fast and burns easily. (if too dark, it becomes bitter). Stir in butter and add as many potatoes as possible with out crowding. Shake pan constantly to roll potatoes & coat on all sides with caramel. Remove the hot caramelized potatoes to a heated serving bowl & repeat the procedure till all potatoes are coated

Note: I have made these many times, but it is tricky. You must pay close attention so the syrup wont get too dark. I have had many successes and some failures with these. But they are so delicious.
