Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat oven to 375°F.
2 Arrange potatoes in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
3 Combine sugar, butter and spices in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
4 Pour over potatoes; toss to coat. Cover dish tightly with foil.
5 Bake potatoes 50 minutes. Uncover; bake until potatoes are tender and syrup thickens slightly, basting occasionally - about 20 minutes.
