Ingredients- 5-6 small potatoes (baby potatoes are great)
- 1 cup water (200ml)
- 40g unsalted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them. To maintain a good texture, avoid cutting them too small. Halve the potatoes for a nice, bite-sized piece. (Tip: If your potatoes are quite large, you can cut them into quarters.)
Step 2
Now, heat a dry pan over high heat. Add the cut potatoes, placing the cut side down. Pour in 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, add 1 tsp of salt for flavor, and cover the pan. Let them cook for about 10-15 minutes. (Tip: Keep an eye on the potatoes to prevent them from burning.)
Step 3
When most of the water has evaporated, add 40g of butter. Lower the heat to medium-low. Gently toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the melting butter, and continue to cook for about 10 minutes. This step will help them get a beautiful golden-brown color and develop a rich flavor.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are nicely browned, sprinkle 2 Tbsp of sugar evenly over them. Stir gently to ensure the sugar coats the potatoes as it melts and caramelizes. Finally, cover the pan again and cook on low heat for another 5-6 minutes. To prevent sticking, give the pan a gentle shake or stir the potatoes occasionally. Your delicious buttery baked potatoes are ready!
