Instructions
- 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.

- 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.

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.
