Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup bourbon
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 large sweet potatoes peeled and sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a skillet, combine butter, brown sugar, bourbon, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and pepper. Heat over medium heat for about 2 minutes after the butter has melted, stirring once.
- In a large 13x9 baking dish, or skillet, add sliced potatoes. Pour melted butter mixture over the top and stir to combine. Sprinkle with fresh thyme. Cover dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil, stir potatoes, and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Allow dish to cool about 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Brandy could also be used in place of bourbon. Or swap out the alcohol and use orange juice or apple juice instead.
- A large 12-inch oven safe skillet or cast-iron skillet can be used to keep it as a one-pan meal.
- If you like marshmallows on your candied potatoes, sprinkle at the end of the baking period. Broil for 2-3 minutes and allow to set.
- Store in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Rosemary can be used in addition (or to replace) the fresh thyme.
