SWEET POTATOES WITH BOURBON AND BROWN SUGAR



Sweet Potatoes With Bourbon and Brown Sugar image

These silky mashed sweet potatoes are spiced with cloves, nutmeg and a little black pepper, brightened with lemon zest, and spiked with bourbon (or orange juice, if you'd prefer). Puréeing them in a food processor yields the smoothest, airiest texture, but for something a little more rustic, you could mash them by hand. Whichever you choose, these reheat well, either in a microwave or in a pot over low heat.

Time 4h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, pricked with a fork (10 to 12 sweet potatoes)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 to 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar, or to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons bourbon or orange juice
3/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Large pinch of ground cloves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap potatoes in foil, place on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let rest until cool enough to handle but still warm, then remove the foil and peel off the skins.

(Or, for a chunkier texture, mash them by hand.) Taste and add salt, sugar or both if you like. Serve while still warm or reheat before serving.

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 skins

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 medium sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 16.5-ounce can baked beans with bourbon and brown sugar, such as Bush's Best Bourbon and Brown Sugar Grillin' Beans

1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2 scallions (white and pale green parts), sliced, dark green tops sliced and reserved for garnish
1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed, diced
1/2 cup sour cream
Juice of 2 limes
1 avocado, diced
One 10-ounce tube Mexican chorizo
