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

3 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, pricked with a fork (10 to 12 sweet potatoes)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter

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:

(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.

BOURBON SWEET POTATOES



Bourbon Sweet Potatoes image

This is a great make ahead recipe for those big family get-to-gathers. I often mix them the day before, adding the marshmallows and baking the day of the feast. I believe they are much better if they are refrigerated overnight or as leftovers the next day.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 50m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 (18 ounce) cans sweet potatoes
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup Bourbon (I usually splash in a little more)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups miniature marshmallows

Steps:

  • Put sweet potatoes in a large sauce pan.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until heated through.
  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Mash sweet potatoes
  • Add sugar, butter, bourbon, vanilla and beat until well blended and smooth.
  • Turn into a 2 quart shallow baking dish
  • Sprinkle marshmallows on top
  • Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until marshmallows are golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth potatoes that are free of blemishes. Avoid any potatoes that have soft spots, cracks, or sprouts.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes: This will help you get clean, even cuts and prevent the potatoes from crumbling.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the potatoes, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Roast the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be pierced easily with a fork when they are done.
  • Add the bourbon and coconut milk mixture: Once the potatoes are roasted, add the bourbon and coconut milk mixture and stir to coat.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: These potatoes are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

These coconut bourbon sweet potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
