Bourbon Sweet Potatoes Yams
Made in my house for every family gathering and holiday. Possibly the most delicious thing you'll ever eat--even if you don't like yams, which i don't.
Steps
In a skillet , brown the pecans.
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 flamb.
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.
