In a 6-quart saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, then simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon to a heavy serving bowl and keep warm.
Boil remaining cooking liquid for 10-15 minutes to reduce by half.
Pour reduced liquid over the potatoes and serve warm. Before serving, remove cinnamon sticks.
