Emeril's Bourbon-Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Caramelized Onions image

Provided by jody 5

Time 16m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4-2 lbs sweet potatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 lbs yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake until tender and starting to ooze sugary syrup, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, depending on their size. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Cut a slit down each potato and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Discard the skins.
Add the cream, bourbon, brown sugar, molasses, and salt; beat on high speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Cover to keep warm, or gently reheat before serving.
Caramelized Onions:.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from heat and serve hot.
Yield: 2 cups, 4 to 6 servings.

Provided by BecR2400

Time 1h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8ths
3 cups brown sugar
1 cup water
1 cup fresh orange juice
2 vanilla beans, split in half lengthwise (or 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste)
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Bourbon (I use Jack Daniels)
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large heavy pot, combine the potatoes, sugar, water, orange juice, vanilla beans, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a simmer over high heat.
Lower the heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Strain the potatoes out of the sauce and place in a casserole dish. Return the sauce to the pan.
Add the bourbon to the sauce and cook (stirring often) on medium-high heat until syrup is thickened, about another 15-30 minutes.
Pour the syrup over the potatoes and place in the oven. Bake until the potatoes are browned, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the butter, stirring gently to incorporate.
Serve immediately.
