Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pound large sweet potatoes, peeled and halved crosswise
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/3 cup bourbon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Cut each potato half lengthwise into fourths. Steam potatoes on a steamer rack set over boiling water, covered, until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes, then cool, uncovered. Transfer to a buttered 3-quart shallow baking dish.
  • Simmer brown sugar, butter, water, and salt, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and syrup is thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in bourbon to taste. Drizzle syrup over potatoes and bake in middle of oven, basting occasionally, until syrup is thickened, about 1 1/4 hours.

These candied sweet potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less brown sugar next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices, like ginger and cloves, and it was much better.

I was looking for a healthier alternative to candied yams, and this recipe fit the bill perfectly. They were still sweet and flavorful, but without all the added sugar.
