CANDIED SWEET POTATOES
When Fred Harvey opened his first Harvey House restaurant in 1876 on the railway line in Topeka, Kan., his idea was radical for the time: Railroad passengers would be fed good food in a pleasant environment. His concept was so successful that it spawned 84 restaurants, a Hollywood movie and an official cookbook. And it was in "The Harvey House Cookbook" that we found this excellent recipe for sweet potatoes candied with confectioners' sugar and butter. It is best served warm rather than piping hot, which makes it convenient for big meals like Thanksgiving. Bake it before you roast your turkey, then reheat it briefly just before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large heavy pot, combine the potatoes, sugar, water, orange juice, vanilla beans, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a simmer over high heat.
- Lower the heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Strain the potatoes out of the sauce and place in a casserole dish. Return the sauce to the pan.
- Add the bourbon to the sauce and cook (stirring often) on medium-high heat until syrup is thickened, about another 15-30 minutes.
- Pour the syrup over the potatoes and place in the oven. Bake until the potatoes are browned, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the butter, stirring gently to incorporate.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose firm and evenly shaped sweet potatoes for the best results.
- Use a sharp knife to peel the sweet potatoes to avoid wasting any of the flesh.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sweet potatoes, or they will not cook evenly.
- Stir the sweet potatoes occasionally while cooking so that they brown evenly.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the syrup when they are coated and glistening.
- Allow the sweet potatoes to cool completely before storing them.
