SWEET POTATOES WITH RUM



Sweet Potatoes with Rum image

This side dish is decadent with the addition of the rum, but not as sweet as those that use marshmallows. If you substitute the orange juice, add some freshly grated orange zest too, for a real flavour punch.

Provided by Lennie

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 medium sweet potatoes
4 tablespoons margarine or 4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum (substitute freshly-squeezed orange juice if you wish; it will taste different though)
1/2 cup golden raisin

Steps:

  • Boil the whole, unpeeled, sweet potatoes until tender but not too soft-- it will take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the thickness of your potatoes.
  • Drain and, when cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
  • Arrange the slices in an attractive overlapping pattern in a buttered shallow baking dish.
  • Dot with butter pieces, then sprinkle with brown sugar and raisins, if using.
  • Drizzle the rum over all.
  • Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, until bubbly and glazed, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth potatoes with no blemishes or bruises. Garnet or Jewel sweet potatoes are good varieties to use for baking.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork or skewer into the center of the potato. If it slides in easily, the potato is done.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the sweet potatoes in half: This will help prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Scoop out the flesh of the sweet potatoes: Be careful not to scoop too close to the skin, as this can make the potatoes fall apart.
  • Mash the sweet potato flesh with a fork or potato masher: You can also use a food processor, but be careful not to over-process the potatoes.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the mashed sweet potatoes: Stir until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to a baking dish: Top with additional butter and brown sugar, if desired.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are heated through: You can check this by inserting a fork or skewer into the center of the dish. If it comes out clean, the sweet potatoes are done.

Conclusion:

Rum raisin sweet potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes, and they can be served as a side dish or dessert. The rum and raisins add a unique and flavorful twist to this classic dish. So next time you are looking for a sweet and savory side dish, give rum raisin sweet potatoes a try.
