CARAMELISED POTATOES (SUKKERBRUNEDE KARTOFLER)
A recipe I found online at Denmark.dk for their Christmas recipes. These potatoes sound so different from what I have had and so tasty. Posting this for ZWT 6. I haven't tried them yet, but would taste them and then determine if they needed any salt or pepper.

Steps:
- Peel and dice potatoes then add them to a large sauce pan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil on high heat then reduce to a slow boil for 15 minutes. Rinse the potatoes in cold water and drip dry.
- Melt the sugar in a frying pan until golden. Add the butter and put the potatoes in the mixture when the butter has stopped fizzing. Brown the potatoes over a brisk fire while stirring.
- Caramelised potatoes are not suitable for re-heating, for then they will not become shiny, but dull and furry.

DANISH CARAMEL POTATOES
Sticky, sweet and such a treat, these potatoes, inspired by a classic sweet-and-savory Danish dish, are a must try. True to their title, the potatoes are actually tossed with a homemade caramel sauce-don't worry, it's just sugar and butter. A clever technique developed by the Betty Crocker Kitchens makes quick work of a tricky step. Where most traditional recipes call for combining the potatoes with hot caramel on your stovetop, where it's easy to burn the caramel and make a mess, this version calls for combining them in the oven. So you'll end up with creamy potatoes coated in rich caramel, with barely any fuss. We highly recommend serving these alongside pork and cabbage, as the Danes traditionally do at Christmastime.

Steps:
- Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch in a 3-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander and cool slightly. When potatoes are just cool enough to handle (but are still very warm), peel and cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges.
- Cook sugar in a 12-inch heavy skillet, undisturbed, over moderate heat until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar melts into a golden caramel. Add butter and salt, stirring until butter is melted. Add potato wedges, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula from bottom of skillet to coat potatoes with caramel (caramel will seize and form small clumps), and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are heated through and any clumps of caramel have melted to coat potatoes evenly, 10 to 12 minutes.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect caramelization, use a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet that evenly distributes heat.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the potatoes in batches if necessary.
- Be patient and let the potatoes caramelize slowly over medium-low heat. Stirring too often will prevent the caramelization process.
- If the potatoes start to stick to the pan, add a splash of water or broth and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.
