Fried Sugar-Poached New Potatoes

Ingredients

• 10 new potatoes
• water
• ½ c. sugar
• 2 clove garlic
• peanut oil
• salt

Directions

1. In a medium pot over high heat, cover potatoes with water. Add sugar and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
2. In a large cast-iron skillet fitted with a candy thermometer, heat 1/4-inch peanut oil between 325 and 350 degrees F. Working in batches, pan-fry potatoes, turning frequently, until crispy and brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil. Let sit for about 2 minutes and season with salt. Serve hot, cold, or at room temperature.
