🔥highway rest stop potatoes (휴게소 감자) at home

Korean road trips have a rule: you stop at the 휴게소 (rest area) and get butter potatoes in a paper cup with toothpicks. Turns out they're easy at home.

You need 1 lb baby potatoes, 1 tbsp unsalted butter, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, 1 tbsp sugar (optional) and 1 to 2 tbsp grated Parmesan. 1. Barely cover the potatoes with water (about 1½ cups), lid on, medium heat for 17 to 20 min until a skewer slides in. 2. Drain, put them back in the pan and let the leftover water cook off. 3. Add the butter and toss for about 5 min until glossy with lightly crisp skins, then salt. 4. Top with Parmesan and sugar, stab with toothpicks, eat hot. Sugar on potatoes sounds wrong until it isn't.
