Sweet Potato Recipe

Drunken Sweet Potatoes
Here's a unique recipe for sweet potatoes in the smoker, made with grated sweet potatoes, Tequila, and lime.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 pounds grated sweet potato, about 1 large or 2 medium sweet potatoes
2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup tequila
juice of 2 limes

Instructions:

Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temperature to about 220°.
In a cast iron skillet or smokeproof baking dish, melt the butter. Stir in the sweet potatoes and then pat the potatoes down into a thick, even layer. Sprinkle the brown sugar and the salt over the potatoes.
Transfer the potatoes to the smoker and cook for 1 hour. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the tequila and half of the lime juice, pat the potatoes back down again and continue cooking the potatoes another 50 to 60 minutes, until they are quite tender but crisped a bit around the edges.
Remove the potatoes from the smoker and stir in the remaining tequila and lime juice. Serve warm.
