DRUNKEN POTATOES
This is a really interesting sounding recipe from Janet Reeves' "One Potato Two Potato" cookbook. It says that you can assemble them ahead and then pop them in the oven before serving. Would be a different way to eat potatoes!

DRUNKEN SWEET POTATOES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in the butter, cinnamon, orange juice, eggs, salt, and liqueur. Transfer to a 2 quart casserole dish. Mix the pecans and brown sugar in a small bowl, and sprinkle evenly over the sweet potato mixture. Bake 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until center is firm and edges are lightly browned. If desired the last 10 minutes of cook time, cook uncovered with marshmallows sprinkled on top (until marshmallows are just slightly browned and crispy!)
Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: For the best results, select firm and waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red potatoes. These hold their shape well during cooking and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
- Cut the Potatoes Evenly: Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. Whether you prefer wedges, cubes, or slices, make sure they're about the same size.
- Soak the Potatoes (Optional): Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking removes excess starch, resulting in crispier potatoes. However, this step is optional and not necessary for all recipes.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Garlic, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and chili powder are all great choices for adding flavor to drunken potatoes. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
- Use Good Quality Beer: The beer you choose will significantly impact the flavor of your drunken potatoes. Opt for a flavorful beer that you enjoy drinking, as its taste will be imparted to the dish.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the potatoes, avoid overcrowding the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy. Cook them in batches if necessary.
Conclusion:
Drunken potatoes are a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a side, appetizer, or main course. With a variety of recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a version that suits your taste. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy dish to prepare, give drunken potatoes a try! Experiment with different types of beer, seasonings, and cooking methods to create your own unique and delicious recipe.
