SWEET POTATOES WITH BOURBON AND BROWN SUGAR
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.

BOURBON SWEET POTATOES
Only a Southerner, inheritor of the infamous Southern sweet tooth, would add massive quantities of butter and sugar to a dish and still regard it as a vegetable. Add a shot of bourbon? No problem.
Yield serves 4 to 6

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter an ovenproof gratin or casserole dish. Arrange the sweet potato slices in the prepared dish and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, 4 tablespoons butter, bourbon, and syrup and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. As soon as the sauce is boiling, pour it over the sweet potatoes. Bake the casserole, basting and turning the potatoes occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are soft and tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm and unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
- Pierce the sweet potatoes before baking: This helps the steam to escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork or knife into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will prevent them from breaking apart.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the sweet potatoes: This will help to create clean, even slices.
- Don't overcook the bourbon sauce: The sauce should be slightly thickened and syrupy, but it should not be too thick or sticky.
- Serve the sweet potatoes warm: This is when they are at their best.
Conclusion:
Sweet potatoes with bourbon and brown sugar is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet potatoes are tender and flavorful, and the bourbon sauce is rich and decadent. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
