Coat a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray and add the potato/orange mixture.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and pecans. Simmer 3 minutes. Pour sugar/pecan mixture over the top of the potato/orange mixture.

In a saucepan, mix the orange juice, cornstarch, maple syrup and cloves. Cook and stir until thick. Pour over potatoes and bake at 375° for 15 minutes.
