Caramelized Potatoes

Start the program. The program starts by briefly bringing the potatoes to the boil and then lowers the temperature to 95 ºC. Let the potatoes cool until you can handle them without burning your fingers. Gently remove the skin from the potatoes while they are still warm. Refrigerate the potatoes, but do not cover them.

Add sugar to a frying pan and start the program. Melt the sugar at 210 ºC for about 5 minutes until it becomes brown and caramelized. Do not stir the sugar while it is melting. Lower the temperature to 175 ºC (the program does this automatically). Add the butter and stir gently.

Add the peeled potatoes and brown for 8-10 minutes at 175 ºC. Stir occasionally. Turn off the heat and leave the pan to cool. Stir occasionally. As the caramel in the pan cools, it will thicken and stick to the potatoes, when you stir. Continue until the potatoes are coated with as much caramel as you prefer.
