Maple-Rosemary Glazed Potatoes
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 24 oz (4 c) honey gold potatoes (Any baby potato will do.)
  • 1½ T butter
  • 2 T pure maple syrup
  • 2 T chopped fresh rosemary
  • sea salt, preferably fleur de sel
Instructions
  1. Scrub potatoes. Put them in a large sauté pan with a lid. (If you don't have a lid, you can use a cookie sheet to cover it, but be careful not to burn yourself when lifting.) Fill sauté pan with about ½ an inch of water, so the bottoms of the potatoes are almost halfway covered. Add a big pinch of sea salt. Put a lid on it and heat the pan over a medium high flame, boiling and steaming for about 10 minutes.
  2. Poke the potatoes with a knife. As soon as they are tender, remove the lid and let the steam cook off. Once you have only a few tablespoons of water left (about 5 min.), add the butter and syrup. Cook and stir to glaze potatoes. First they will glisten, and then they will begin to caramelize. Once they start to caramelize, stir frequently to prevent burning. When the potatoes have a nice caramel color, add the rosemary. Cook for another minute.  Taste and season with sea salt and black pepper.  A nice coarse fleur de sel is the best salt if you have it on hand. Enjoy!
