SWEET POTATOES WITH BOURBON AND BROWN SUGAR



Sweet Potatoes With Bourbon and Brown Sugar image

These silky mashed sweet potatoes are spiced with cloves, nutmeg and a little black pepper, brightened with lemon zest, and spiked with bourbon (or orange juice, if you'd prefer). Puréeing them in a food processor yields the smoothest, airiest texture, but for something a little more rustic, you could mash them by hand. Whichever you choose, these reheat well, either in a microwave or in a pot over low heat.

Categories     dinner, casseroles, vegetables, side dish

Time 4h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, pricked with a fork (10 to 12 sweet potatoes)

1 1/2 tablespoons bourbon or orange juice
3/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Large pinch of ground cloves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap potatoes in foil, place on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let rest until cool enough to handle but still warm, then remove the foil and peel off the skins.
  • Add sweet potatoes to a food processor, along with butter, brown sugar, bourbon or juice, lemon zest, salt, nutmeg, pepper and cloves. Purée until smooth. (Or, for a chunkier texture, mash them by hand.) Taste and add salt, sugar or both if you like. Serve while still warm or reheat before serving.

SWEET POTATO PUREE WITH BROWN BUTTER



Sweet Potato Puree with Brown Butter image

The biggest mistake people make with purees in simply not cooking the main ingredient long enough in the first place. Sweet potatoes can be boiled on the stovetop in water and such but I want to make this simple. Bake, scoop and mix. That's my favorite way. I am always surprised at what a sleeper this can be. I only add a little milk here to thin it out: I find cream and milk can dilute the sweet potato flavor. It also makes a great soup whisked into hot milk and blended...

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 1/2 to 5 pounds medium sweet potatoes
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses, plus some additional, if needed
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 large knob fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground white pepper, to taste
3/4 cup whole milk, heated
The zest and juice from 1 orange
Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes in a single layer on 2 baking sheets. Put the trays in the center of the oven and bake until completely yielding when pierced with the tip of a knife, 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Make the brown butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter completely over medium heat. Wait until it starts to simmer and turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the brown sugar, molasses, dry ginger, fresh ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Set aside.
  • Make the puree: When the potatoes are cooked, place them on a flat surface and cut them in half. Use a large spoon to scoop out the flesh. Discard the skins and run the potatoes through the food mill. Transfer to a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the milk and all of the reserved brown butter mixture. Taste for seasoning.
  • Finish and serve: Add a few "grates" of orange zest and then cut the orange and half and squeeze in the juice. Taste for seasoning. If the puree lacks sweetness, add a little molasses. If it lacks salt, add more salt or a splash Worcestershire Sauce.

Categories     Bake     Roast     Thanksgiving     Sweet Potato/Yam     Fall

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 pounds orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, such as Louisiana, jewel, or garnet yams
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup plus 1/3 cup (packed) light brown sugar
14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

  • Pierce each potato with fork and transfer to baking sheet. Bake until tender, about 50 minutes. Cool until easy to handle.
  • Meanwhile, make streusel: In medium bowl, combine flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 stick butter. Rub mixture between fingertips until blended and crumbly. Set aside.
  • Halve potatoes lengthwise and scoop out flesh into large bowl. Add remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar and 3/4 stick butter and mash with potato masher or, for a smoother purée, handheld electric mixer. Spread mixture in prepared dish and cool completely. (Streusel and purée can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated, separately, covered.)
  • Sprinkle streusel over potatoes. Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. (Completed dish can be prepared up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated, covered. Remove from refrigerator 1 hour before reheating and let come to room temperature. Bake, loosely covered with foil, until heated through, about 25 minutes.)
  • Variation:
  • Sweet potato purée with marshmallows: Omit streusel. Spread purée in baking dish, cover with foil, and bake until heated through, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle top with 3 cups miniature marshmallows and broil until marshmallows are lightly browned, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH BROWN SUGAR



Baked Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar image

Roasting sweet potatoes at a high oven temperature makes the skin delicious and extra crackly.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 medium sweet potatoes, (8 to 10 ounces each), scrubbed
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons packed dark-brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. With a fork, poke potatoes in several places. Arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet; bake until tender, about 40 minutes.
  • Cut a deep cross in the top of each potato, and push the ends together to make an opening. Sprinkle inside with salt and pepper; dot each potato with 1 tablespoon butter and 2 teaspoons sugar. Serve.

Tips:

  • Select the right sweet potatoes: Choose firm and unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size for even cooking.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes before baking: This helps the steam to escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: Insert a fork or knife into the center of the potato to check for doneness. It should slide in easily when the potato is cooked through.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the sweet potatoes: This will give you a smooth and creamy puree.
  • Add brown sugar and sherry to taste: Start with a small amount and add more to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, to taste.
  • Serve the sweet potato puree immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use: Reheat the puree over low heat before serving.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato puree with brown sugar and sherry is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways. It can be served as a side dish, used as a filling for pies and tarts, or even spread on toast. The puree is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium.
