Twice Baked Bourbon-Hazelnut Sweet Potatoes image

A favorite sweet potato recipe that is quick to put together (other than the roasting time). It's a GREAT Thanksgiving make-ahead. Plus it's nice to have some side dishes that are prepared for individual servings--they just look pretty that way!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons veggie oil
3 lbs sweet potatoes (about 6 round, not skinny)
1/2 cup creme fraiche (or cream cheese)
6 tablespoons melted butter, divided
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons Bourbon
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, divided
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts (or pecans, walnuts...)
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, bread crumbs
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Oil the sweet potatoes and roast on rimmed baking sheet until very tender, 1 to 1 ½ hours. (You can nook them in the microwave to speed the roasting time!).
  • Cool slightly. Cut each potato in half and place the flesh of the top halves in a bowl-it should just fall out of the skin.
  • Gently scoop the flesh out of the bottom halves and add it to the bowl, leaving a little around the edges for stability.
  • Mix in the crème fraiche, 4 Tbs. butter, syrup, bourbon, 1 teaspoons cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoons nutmeg, 1 teaspoons salt and pepper to taste.
  • Using a hand mixer (or immersion blender), puree until smooth.
  • Scoop the potato puree back into the bottom halves.
  • Mix the remaining 2 Tb. of butter and ¼ teaspoons nutmeg with the panko and chopped nuts. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle the mixture over the tops of the sweet potatoes.
  • Bake another 15-20 minutes until warmed through and golden on top!
  • * These can be made 2-3 days in advance. If coming out of the fridge, bake 30-40 minutes--until warmed through or cheat and rewarm in the microwave. *smile* I won't tell!

These sweet potatoes were delicious! The bourbon and hazelnut flavors were a perfect match, and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

The sweet potatoes were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more butter or milk next time to make them more moist.

These sweet potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. The hazelnut topping was a nice touch, but I think I would have preferred a more savory topping.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sweet potatoes turned out perfect! The bourbon and hazelnut flavors were subtle but still noticeable, and the potatoes were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
