¼ teaspoon cloves
pinch of mace

Cut potatoes in 1 inch cubes. Boil in salted water until half-done, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Make a paste of spices (except bay leaves and red pepper), and yogurt. Toss potatoes in it to coat. Melt butter in a medium-sized, heavy casserole. Add bay leaves and red pepper, stir over low heat for a few minutes, and add sugar. Stir until sugar just begins to caramelize and turn golden.
