Bourbon Sweet Potatoes With Maple Syrup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 medium sweet potatoes
1/2 stick butter or more (if necessary)
1 c. dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp. maple sugar or honey
1/2 c. fresh orange juice
1/4 c. bourbon
1 tsp. grated zest of orange

Preparation

Heat oven to 450\u00b0.
Peel the sweet potatoes.
Cut into fourths or eighths, depending if sweet potatoes are too large.
Brown well on all sides in a heavy skillet in the butter, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Don't burn.
Potatoes do not have to be fully cooked at this stage.
Add more butter if necessary to prevent sticking. Arrange potatoes in a casserole that has a lid.
Mix the sugar, maple syrup, juice, bourbon and zest.
Pour over potatoes.
Cover and bake 20 minutes, basting often.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
