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 sweet potatoes that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. For the best flavor, use sweet potatoes that are about 2 inches in diameter.
- Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- While the sweet potatoes are baking, make the drunken glaze. Simply combine bourbon, butter, brown sugar, and orange juice in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, brush them with the drunken glaze and return them to the oven for 5 minutes. This will help the glaze caramelize and give the sweet potatoes a delicious, sticky coating.
- Serve the drunken sweet potatoes immediately, topped with chopped pecans and additional glaze, if desired.
Conclusion:
Drunken sweet potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
