Brunede Kartofler (Sugar-browned Potatoes)

Copyright 2011 LtDan'sKitchen blogs

A seasonal dish, this dish makes a good accompaniment to stuffed pork tenderloin although traditionally, this is paired with roasted chicken at Christmas time. This actually rminds me of a gnocchi dish I made some time ago following Giada De Larentis' recipe where the gnocchi is flavored with a sugary sauce. Very simple to make, I'm glad I found this recipe just in time for the holidays. Another surprise is that the dish is actually not overly sweet and goes really well with savory dishes.
