Bourbon-Glazed Sweet Potatoes

Hi everybody :)

Today I like to share with you my favorite sweet potato recipe; Bourbon Glazed Sweet Potatoes. This is a basic simple recipe that can easily be prepared. The potatoes are first steamed until just about tender, than they're transferred to the oven to be roasted while basting in the bourbon glaze.
