Save Some Bourbon for Your Sweet Potatoes...
Secret Recipe from Restaurant
Sweet potatoes play an important part of tried and true
“comfort foods.”
My restaurant has always had home-style meals (comfort
food) reminiscent of mom’s cooking on my menus.
And often you can use combinations of seasonings, sauces,
butters and even alcohol to enhance traditional foods. This
is one of those recipes. It is a free restaurant secret recipe!
These bourbon mashed potatoes will be a star component of your fabulous meal. But you can use
this vegetable in many different ways.
- Use them as a flavorful base for soups and sauces.
- Have you ever tried spiced fries cut from this vegetable?
- How about as an appetizer, especially with certain dips?
- Consider whipping flavored sautéed leeks and mushrooms with these potatoes.
The possibilities are endless. And they are an excellent source of vitamins and fiber.
