Recipe: Bourbon Sweet Potatoes

Mr. Big Food made some modifications to this recipe as he was preparing the dish. The original recipe called for something like three cups of sugar-- for 4-5 sweet potatoes which, as the name implies, are already sweet! We also omitted the topping entirely. 

Delicious!

The recipe below includes the topping, but has been corrected-- do use one cup of sugar in the sweet potatoes. Although, if you're topping them, you could cut that back a bit.
