WHISKY (OR BOURBON) BAKED SWEET POTATOES (OR YAMS)



Whisky (Or Bourbon) Baked Sweet Potatoes (Or Yams) image

This recipe is a combination of my Dad's Candied Yam recipe and one from Gourmet. I prefer the darker sweet potato (which he called a yam) over the lighter yellow sweet potato. I like to use McClelland's Highland Scotch Whisky, but you can use any whisky/whiskey/bourbon you prefer; a friend told me she even made them with rum. I've also had good luck with making them in advance; arranging them in the dish, adding the syrup, and refrigerating them until it's time to bake them. This dish smells so good while baking: like cinnamon rolls, or the steam from a hot-buttered rum. And they taste almost like a dessert (I think they end up with a firm, custard-like consistency). At my family & friends' request, I now have to make them for every Thanksgiving and holiday meal.

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs yams or 3 lbs sweet potatoes
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar-free maple syrup or 1/2 cup regular maple syrup
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
1/3 cup Scotch whisky, to taste

Steps:

  • Grease a shallow 3qt baking dish; set aside.
  • Steam or boil the peeled yams until almost tender; cool and slice into approximately 1 1/2 inch slices (you want them to fit in a the 3qt baking dish in one layer).
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a small saucepan, simmer brown sugar, syrup, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and syrup thickens, about 5 minutes; Remove from heat and stir in whisky (or other liquor of choice).
  • Drizzle syrup over yams. Cover with aluminum foil (at this point, they may be refrigerated until you're ready to bake them). Bake the yams, basting every 15-20 minutes, until syrup has thickened and absorbed (note: not all the syrup will absorb), about 1 1/4 hours. May be served hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh sweet potatoes: This will give your casserole the best flavor and texture.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes before mashing them: This will help them develop a richer, more caramelized flavor.
  • Use a good quality Tennessee whiskey: This will add a depth of flavor to your casserole.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: It should be cooked through, but still have a little bit of a bite to it.
  • Serve the casserole warm, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream: This will make it even more delicious!

Conclusion:

Tennessee Whiskey Sweet Potato Casserole is a delicious and unique side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
