The Method
- 1
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash and dry Jersey Royal potatoes thoroughly. If they are larger than bite size, halve or quarter them.
- 2
Toss potatoes with 25g of melted butter and optional cinnamon (if using). Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- 3
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and slightly golden.
- 4
While potatoes are baking, make the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 25g butter over medium heat.
- 5
Add the brown sugar and stir constantly until it dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble. Be careful not to burn the sugar.
- 6
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- 7
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- 8
Once the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to the saucepan with the caramel sauce. Gently toss to coat them evenly.
- 9
Serve the caramelized potatoes warm, sprinkled with flaky sea salt. Enjoy immediately.

Chef's Tips
For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the caramel sauce after removing it from the heat.
If the caramel sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk or cream to thin it out.
Serve these as a delightful alternative to classic desserts or as a unique appetizer.
Jersey Royals are sweetest when they are in season, so that's the best time to make this recipe.
