For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. A splash of bourbon or rum added to the sauce elevates the flavor profile. To prevent the potatoes from sticking, lightly grease the baking dish before adding them. Basting frequently ensures even caramelization and prevents the potatoes from drying out. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
