Low-fat Sweet Potato Recipe

Yield: 8 Servings

Ingredients and directions for this recipe

5 lb Medium unpeeled sweet
-potatoes or yams
1 tb Fresh lemon juice
1/2 ts Finely grated lemon zest
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1/4 c Good-quality bourbon

With Thanksgiving coming up, I thought a nice low-fat sweet potato recipe
would be nice. Here's one from the current (Nov) issue of Food & Wine.

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times
and roast them in a large nonstick roasting pan for about 1 hour, or until
soft and browned on the bottom. Let cool for 15 minutes. Remove the skin,
leaving as much caramelized flesh as possible. Cut the potatoes into large
chunks and transfer to a food processor. Add the lemon juice and zest,
season with salt and pepper and process until smooth.

2. In a large nonreactive saucepan, combine the bourbon and brown sugar
and bring just to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and stir until blended.
(MAKE AHEAD: The puree can be refrigerated for up to 1 day). warm over low
heat, then transfer to a large bowl and serve.
