KAHLUA® SWEET POTATOES



Kahlua® Sweet Potatoes image

We have had this side dish for Thanksgiving and noticed that it is not as filling as the usual pecan-encrusted mashed sweet potatoes. At Thanksgiving that is a good thing!

I saw George Duran make this recipe on his Thanksgiving show on Food Network. These are his amounts posted. I used fewer marshmallows and next time I'll use less cream, as I found this to be too much liquid. I do love the Kahlua flavor though.

Tips:

  • For perfectly cooked sweet potatoes, select firm and evenly shaped potatoes. Avoid any with blemishes or soft spots.
  • To achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior, pierce the potatoes with a fork before baking. This allows steam to escape and helps create a crispy skin.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Give the potatoes enough space so they can cook evenly.
  • Use a combination of spices to enhance the flavor of the sweet potatoes. Garlic powder, paprika, and cumin are all excellent choices.
  • Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil before baking. This helps them crisp up and prevents them from drying out.
  • If you want to add a touch of sweetness, brush the potatoes with maple syrup or honey before baking.
  • For a savory twist, sprinkle the potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled bacon before baking.
  • To make sure the potatoes are cooked through, insert a fork into the center. If it goes in easily, they're done.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or condiment.
