These potatoes were delicious. The brown sugar caramelized on the potatoes and the pecans. There was just the right amount of spices. I didn't have to bake them for quite as long as the recipe called for. Also, if you wanted to cut back on the sugar a bit, you probably could, but I personally wouldn't change a thing. These will become a regular in our house.
