Tips for Making Kentucky Bourbon Sweet Potatoes:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes. Look for firm, smooth potatoes that are free of blemishes. Avoid any potatoes that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Use a good quality bourbon. The bourbon you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a bourbon that is at least 80 proof and has a smooth, mellow flavor.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. Sweet potatoes are best when they are cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve the potatoes warm. Sweet potatoes are best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also reheat them in the microwave or oven, but they will not be as good as when they are fresh.

Conclusion:

Kentucky Bourbon Sweet Potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special holiday dinner.
