Danish Caramel Potatoes image

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.

I'm not a big fan of caramel, but these potatoes were still really good. The crispy edges were my favorite part.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes came out soggy. I'll have to try again.

I had some trouble getting the caramel sauce to thicken, but the potatoes still tasted good.
