Maple Rum Sweet Potatoes Recipes

SWEET POTATOES WITH RUM

Steps:

• Boil the whole, unpeeled, sweet potatoes until tender but not too soft-- it will take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes depending on the thickness of your potatoes.
• Drain and, when cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/4-inch slices.
• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• Arrange the slices in an attractive overlapping pattern in a buttered shallow baking dish.
• Dot with butter pieces, then sprinkle with brown sugar and raisins, if using.
• Drizzle the rum over all.
• Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, until bubbly and glazed, about 30 minutes.
