Smooth Out Gummy Candy With Potatoes
Marcella Hazan is most widely known for her 3 -way tomato sauce , but her experience is not limited to pasta and what you put in it. In fact, she has a stunningly elegant way of making almonds brittle without any special equipment other than potatoes. (Honestly, how many gifts can this root vegetable give us?)
Click the link below to read the full recipe, but you can use clean, halved potatoes to smooth the top of any sticky, praline-like candy for a glossy finish. Simply wash the reddish brown color, cut it in half, and spread out the candy as thin as the recipe requires. The starch in the hiller will keep the sugar from getting stuck and you will get a shiny surface.
