  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and bring water to a boil in a medium-sized pot.
  2. Add cubed potatoes and boil until you can easily pierce cubes with a fork.
  3. Drain and put cubed cooked potatoes into a large bowl, then add milk, vanilla, ¼ cup of brown sugar, ½ stick of butter, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, and stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  4. Place the contents from the bowl into a 8x8-inch casserole dish sprayed with non-stick spray.
  5. Slice the other half of the stick of butter into pats (approximately 6) and place pats of butter on top of the potato mixture, then sprinkle the other ¼ cup of brown sugar over the butter.
  6. If using, sprinkle the pecans on top and place in a preheated oven.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes until butter and brown sugar have melted together, then serve piping hot.
