- 3 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch wedges
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp bourbon (mellow in flavor, such as Woodford Reserve)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tbsp butter, corn oil, schmaltz, or duck fat
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Arrange sweet potatoes in a 9x13-inch baking dish and toss with brown sugar and bourbon. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake, turning occasionally, until the sweet potatoes look glazed and are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 to 11/2 hours.
Stir in butter or other fat just before serving, and taste for seasoning.
