Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup light-flavored honey such as wildflower, orange blossom, or clover
2 tablespoons Scotch whisky
2 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar
3 pounds orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (yams), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 2-quart casserole dish.
  • In small saucepan over moderately high heat, combine butter, honey, whisky, and sugar. Bring to simmer, whisking until butter and sugar are melted, then reduce heat to moderately low and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.
  • In large bowl, toss potatoes with butter mixture, salt, and pepper. Transfer to prepared dish and bake, tossing occasionally, until tender and glazed, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Select the right sweet potatoes: Opt for firm and evenly shaped sweet potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid those with blemishes, cuts, or bruises.
  • Wash and scrub thoroughly: Before cooking, thoroughly wash and scrub the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Pierce the potatoes: Use a fork to pierce the sweet potatoes several times before baking. This helps the potatoes cook evenly and prevents them from bursting.
  • Bake at high temperature: Bake the sweet potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Brush with honey-whisky glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, whisky, butter, brown sugar, spices, and orange zest. Brush the glaze over the baked sweet potatoes and return them to the oven for a few minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the honey-whisky glazed sweet potatoes hot, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley or thyme for added flavor and color.
