Icelandic caramelized potatoes are a loved side dish especially around the holidays. However, it is a real treat for any occasion.
So simple and delicious, I can't believe I had never come across these little gems before.
Use a small waxy potato and it is best to wait to peel them after they are boiled and fork tender. This allows the potato to really soak in the caramelized goodness. Enjoy!
