salt & pepper |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet.
2. Add the potatoes and pat down into a solid layer.
3. Sprinkle sugar over the potatoes and cook uncovered for about 15 minutes over medium heat.
4. Ever few minutes, scrape the potatoes up from the bottom and then pat back down firmly.
