Bourbon Sweet Potatoes

Today was a wonderful, lazy day. I enjoyed sleeping in, watching some football and some more being lazy. I like to try to make a bigger dinner on Sunday nights since I usually have more time on Sunday to prepare a meal than I want to spend on dinner during the week. Tonight we had Honey Glazed ham, buttery spaghetti squash, bourbon sweet potatoes and applesauce. So good! It was actually a pretty simple dinner to put together-little prep time and long cooking times made for a yummy Sunday night dinner.

Bourbon Sweet Potatoes From Everyday Food
3 1/2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" wedges
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 T bourbon
coarse salt and pepper
3 T butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange sweet potatoes in a 9 x 13" pan. Add sugar and bourbon and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Bake until sweet potatoes are tender and glazed, 1 to 1 1/2 hours, tossing every 30 minutes. Stir in butter before serving.
