Prepare the ingredients. Use 4-6 large potatoes, or about 2 medium potatoes per serving.

Peel the potatoes using a peeler.

Wash the potatoes thoroughly, cut them into bite-sized pieces, and remove excess water.

Heat 2 tbsp of butter in a pan over medium heat until melted.

Add the potatoes to the pan and stir to coat them evenly with butter.

Sprinkle 1/2 tbsp of salt and a pinch of pepper over the potatoes.

Cook the potatoes over medium-low heat for at least 5 minutes, turning them occasionally until golden brown. Check doneness by piercing with a chopstick.

Sprinkle 2 tbsp of sugar over the potatoes and stir to coat evenly.

Continue stirring until the sugar melts and coats the potatoes evenly.
