Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick unsalted butter, quartered
3/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup light brown sugar
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup bourbon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 large sweet potatoes, par cooked and cut into 2-inch dice
3/4 cup toasted chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Combine the butter, molasses, brown sugar and cayenne in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until smooth, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the bourbon and cook for 2 minutes to allow alcohol to burn out. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Put the potatoes in a large baking dish, pour the molasses mixture over and toss to coat. Roast in the oven, stirring a few times, until the potatoes are cooked through and glazed, about 20 minutes. Remove to a platter and top with the pecans.
  • Alternatively, this can be done in a large saute pan: Melt the butter, molasses, brown sugar and cayenne over medium heat. Add the bourbon and let the alcohol cook out. Add the potatoes and cook until glazed over medium-high heat. Transfer to a platter and top with the pecans.
