Caramelized New Potatoes

Submitted by Lakerdog2

"I finally got around to making these and they definitely have a different, interesting taste. I would probably decrease the sugar next time and use lemon juice instead of orange. They tasted great right out of the pan, but once they sat too long in the sauce, the taste was overpowering. I plan to make them again and tweak the recipe a little more to my tastes. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them : )"
