Potatoes Browned in Sugar

2 lbs. white potatoes

1/8 lb. butter

1/2 cup sugar

Select new potatoes, preferably small in size - if large they should be cut into even pieces - boil and peel. Brown the butter over low heat in a preheated saucepan. Add the sugar. When the mixture becomes frothy add the potatoes. Turn repeatedly until the potatoes become well coated and light brown in color.
