This is a semi-sweet dish and fun-to-make that can be served as a side with something like a roast or other rich protein. It could also be served as a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream on top. You could even replace your holiday sweet potato casserole with this.

NOTE:You will need to flambe for this to turn out exactly right. Make preparations to do so safely, if you're not familiar with he process.

Steps

20 mins

1

Dice peeled sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes.
2

In a medium skillet, melt bacon fat over medium-low heat. Add cubed sweet potatoes and salt. Place tablespoons of butter on top of sweet potatoes and cover. Cook for 10 minutes.
3

Uncover skillet and turn heat to high. Add raisins, allspice, sugar and bourbon.
4

Using a striker, lighter, or match, ignite the bourbon in the skillet. This will create a very small flame to burn off the alcohol and should only last 10-15 seconds. BE CAREFUL with nearby flammable items.
5

Continue to cook contents of skillet on high for about 2 minutes, or until the sugar/bourbon have tightened to form a glaze.
