Bourbon Sweet Potatoes (Yams) image

Made in my house for every family gathering and holiday. Possibly the most delicious thing you'll EVER eat--even if you don't like yams, which I don't.

Categories     Sauces

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 yams
2 cups dark brown sugar
1/2 cup Bourbon
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 lb butter
pecans

Steps:

  • In a skillet, brown the pecans (can also be done in the oven).
  • In a big pot, boil the yams for 12 minutes with water just covering them.
  • After 12 minutes, drain the water and replace with ice cold water to stop the cooking--peel and slice the potatoes.
  • In a big pan melt the brown sugar and butter together until saucy.
  • Add the bourbon and optionally flambé.
  • Add heavy cream, blend together.
  • Add the sliced yams to the pan and mix around with the sauce.
  • Add the pecans and mix together while heating for a little bit, but not to cook the yams completely.
  • Pour everything into a casserole dish and heat in the oven at 375° for 25 minutes or until potatoes are cooked.

The sweet potatoes were a little dry. I think I'll add some extra butter or oil next time.

These Bourbon Sweet Potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try them again with less sugar next time.
