Categories     side-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 large)
1 cup pecans
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for preparing baking dish
3/4 cup agave syrup, preferably amber
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup whiskey
2 cups crisp apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and cook the potatoes whole, do not pierce. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Lightly squeeze the potatoes - if they are soft, they are done. Let cool.
  • In a small saute pan over high heat, add the pecans and lightly toast. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, reduce the heat to medium, add the agave and spices, and allow to simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the whiskey and continue to simmer for 5 minutes more.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Butter the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8-inch baking dish. Arrange the sweet potatoes, alternating with the apples. Pour the whiskey-pecan mixture over the top and place in the oven.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, basting the top with the whiskey sauce once at 15 minutes.
  • Remove and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm, smooth, and free of blemishes. Avoid potatoes that are soft or have cuts or bruises.
  • Cook the potatoes thoroughly: Sweet potatoes should be cooked until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Undercooked potatoes will be hard and difficult to mash.
  • Use a good quality whiskey: The type of whiskey you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the casserole. Use a whiskey that you enjoy drinking neat or on the rocks.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make a Tennessee whiskey sweet potato casserole. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find a recipe that you love.

Conclusion:

Tennessee whiskey sweet potato casserole is a delicious and unique side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you are a fan of whiskey or not, this casserole is sure to be a hit.
