Bourbon sweet potatoes from Talk About Good!: Le Livre de la Cuisine de Lafayette by Lafayette Junior League Members

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    You haven't lived until you try Bourbon in your sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving! Of course, I make a few adjustments to this recipe, as we have changed a lot culinary-wise since 1969 (first printing). I use fresh sweet potatoes instead of canned, and I cut way back on the sugar (1/4 cup instead of 1). If you don't like marshmallows, well, just leave them off. I would enjoy a lot of butter-sautéed pecans on top, myself! The first time I made this I used Maker's Mark Bourbon, and I haven't used anything else since!
