1 1/2 sticks butter, sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions:
Boil potatoes in jackets until tender. Cool, peel and slice lengthwise. Spray casserole with Pam. Layer potatoes, butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Sprinkle each layer with a little cinnamon. This will make two layers in a 9x 13 pan. Add water. Bake at 350 degrees 1 hour or until candied. As the potatoes bake, they will shrink in size. Move them so all of them are in juice. Baste often. (Optional: When potatoes are done, top with chopped pecans and glaze by basting with pan syrup; bake for 5 minutes more.)
