Steps:

- 2. In a separate bowl, melt the other stick of butter and add the remaining brown sugar, the chopped pecans, and the corn flakes. Mix well. Note: I double this step because I really like the crunchy stuff.
- 3. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter or spray or whatever you like to use. I use a casserole dish and butter. Put in potatoes. Layer crunchy topping on top of the potatoes and bake at 325 until bubbly and golden brown. Usually about 30 minutes.
