Meanwhile, whisk eggs, egg yolks, sugar, potato starch and vanilla. Slowly whisk this mixture into the hot milk. Cook over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the custard coats the back of the spoon. Divide into six 6oz ramekins Place in a baking dish with 2 inch sides. Pour hot water into the baking dish until the water comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake 35-40 min or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove ramekins from water and place on a rack to cool. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours. Preheat broiler. Sprinkle each custard lightly with brown sugar, spreading evenly to the edges. Place ramekins on baking sheet and broil for about 1 1/2 min until sugar is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully. Remove and serve immediately or chill until served.
