Best Whisky Or Bourbon Baked Sweet Potatoes Or Yams Recipes

WHISKEY-GLAZED SWEET POTATOES

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.

• In a skillet, brown the pecans (can also be done in the oven).
• In a big pot, boil the yams for 12 minutes with water just covering them.
• After 12 minutes, drain the water and replace with ice cold water to stop the cooking--peel and slice the potatoes.
• In a big pan melt the brown sugar and butter together until saucy.
• Add the bourbon and optionally flambé.
• Add heavy cream, blend together.
• Add the sliced yams to the pan and mix around with the sauce.
• Add the pecans and mix together while heating for a little bit, but not to cook the yams completely.
• Pour everything into a casserole dish and heat in the oven at 375° for 25 minutes or until potatoes are cooked.
