BOURBON SWEET POTATOES RECIPE
Turkey with stuffing is just fine for Thanksgiving, but nothing comes close to a serving of these bourbon-spiked sweet spuds. As a kid, my uncle once told me I couldn't have any because they had "firewater" in them. I'm pretty sure that was so he could have more for himself. Some people like a sticky marshmallow topping, but I think this version is a much better way to add a little spunk to the humble yam.

WHISKY (OR BOURBON) BAKED SWEET POTATOES (OR YAMS)
This recipe is a combination of my Dad's Candied Yam recipe and one from Gourmet. I prefer the darker sweet potato (which he called a yam) over the lighter yellow sweet potato. I like to use McClelland's Highland Scotch Whisky, but you can use any whisky/whiskey/bourbon you prefer; a friend told me she even made them with rum. I've also had good luck with making them in advance; arranging them in the dish, adding the syrup, and refrigerating them until it's time to bake them. This dish smells so good while baking: like cinnamon rolls, or the steam from a hot-buttered rum. And they taste almost like a dessert (I think they end up with a firm, custard-like consistency). At my family & friends' request, I now have to make them for every Thanksgiving and holiday meal.

Steps:
- Grease a shallow 3qt baking dish; set aside.
- Steam or boil the peeled yams until almost tender; cool and slice into approximately 1 1/2 inch slices (you want them to fit in a the 3qt baking dish in one layer).
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a small saucepan, simmer brown sugar, syrup, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and syrup thickens, about 5 minutes; Remove from heat and stir in whisky (or other liquor of choice).
- Drizzle syrup over yams. Cover with aluminum foil (at this point, they may be refrigerated until you're ready to bake them). Bake the yams, basting every 15-20 minutes, until syrup has thickened and absorbed (note: not all the syrup will absorb), about 1 1/4 hours. May be served hot, warm, or at room temperature.

- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the diced sweet potatoes onto a sheet pan and drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil. Toss well to coat. Spread the potatoes into one, even layer. Season with a pinch of salt. Place the pan on the bottom rack in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes, or until tender and slightly crisp.
- When the sweet potatoes have about 5 minutes left of roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let melt. Whisk in the brown sugar, maple syrup, bourbon, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the glaze cook until thickened and syrupy. Stir in the pecans. If the glaze gets too thick and looks like it won’t easily coat the sweet potatoes, add a splash of water to loosen.
- Transfer the sweet potatoes to the skillet and gently toss with the glaze. Serve on a large platter with any extra glaze in the skillet spooned over top.
