Caramelized potatoes are a revelation. If you haven’t been treated to this festive Danish side dish, it may seem unexpected at first blush; unexpected but oh so right. Especially when served alongside roast duck, goose, pork or meatballs with sweet and sour red cabbage, as is the tradition. You’ll need petite, waxy potatoes, Darra Goldstein, American professor and author of Fire + Ice: Classic Nordic Cooking (Ten Speed Press, 2015), tells me. And “sugar, butter, and a steady wrist for shaking the pan as the potatoes glaze.”
