Remember that classic snack from highway rest stops during summer vacations? That’s right, butter-roasted baby potatoes! You can recreate that exact flavor at home. They’re perfect for a late-night snack when hunger strikes, and an excellent choice for children’s snacks too. The subtle buttery aroma combined with the sweet and salty taste creates an irresistible charm that makes it hard to stop eating.
Ingredients- 4-5 medium-sized potatoes
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 Tbsp salt (for boiling)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm). Try to make the pieces a uniform size for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the cut potatoes into a pot and add enough cold water to cover them completely. Add 0.5 Tbsp of salt for boiling to help flavor the potatoes as they cook.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still slightly firm to the touch when pierced with a fork (about 15-20 minutes). You don’t want them to be too mushy.
Step 4
Drain the boiled potatoes very well in a colander. It’s crucial to remove excess water, as any remaining moisture can make them soggy when roasting. Transfer the drained potatoes immediately to a frying pan.
Step 5
Add 2 tablespoons of butter directly to the heated pan. The goal is to coat the potatoes evenly with butter.
Step 6
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the potatoes to add a touch of sweetness. The sugar will melt and caramelize as it cooks.
Step 7
Maintain medium-low heat. Once the butter begins to melt, gently swirl the pan or use a spatula to roll the potatoes around. Ensure they are coated evenly with the melted butter and sugar. You’ll notice a nice sheen developing.
Step 8
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the potatoes for a savory contrast. Feel free to adjust the amount to your preference.
Step 9
Finally, reduce the heat to low. Continuously toss or stir the potatoes to prevent burning, allowing them to roast until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside, while remaining tender inside. This creates your ultimate favorite snack! Enjoy them while they’re warm.
