Caramelized potatoes

[rimturse]

After an epic battle, which included hot caramel burns on my face and hand from a sputtering pan, I finally managed to make perfect caramelized potatoes after two failed attempts using the standard recipes - after burning myself I searched online and stumbled across a funny recipe that basically said all the standard recipes were crap - and this recipe worked!

The spatter burns hurt like s***, but luckily I just have to make caramelized potatoes again tomorrow and then I won't have to do it again until year 2013.

I hope you put ice on your burns straight away. It stops the flesh cooking and making the thing worse.

Never had caramelized potatoes. They sound rather intriguing, but I would prefer not to get the war wounds. Grins.

Icy cold water from the tap at first and then later snow from outside. They're ugly semi-dried up blisters now, but it doesn't look as if the burn went too deep. :)

Caramelized potatoes is traditional food here, we eat it every Christmas and every time we get a semi-fancy meal with duck, turkey, goose, pork roasts etc. It's usually served together with plan boiled potatoes, warm "pickled" red cabbage, and a sauce.

Here's a photo with of a pork roast with all of these: http://www.dk-kogebogen.dk/billeder-opskrifter/billeder/7583/4_300.jpg
