Best Tequila And Lime Sweet Potatoes Recipes

TEQUILA AND LIME SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into 3/4" thick slices.
• In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil and then add the potatoes -- when they begin to re-boil, allow them to go for 6 minutes, uncovered, (they should be just tender) and then drain them with a colander.
• Mix the lime juice, honey and tequila together in a small bowl.
• Set up a large baking sheet on which there is a metal grill-type rack. Lay the potatoes out on the rack and brush them with the lime-honey-tequila sauce.
• Broil the potatoes until they brown on one side, flip them and when they brown on the second side, they're done.
• NOTE: A second option is to grill the brushed potatoes on a gas or charcoal grill.

LIME CILANTRO SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.
• Toss sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a shallow baking pan. Arrange potatoes in 1 layer and roast, stirring halfway through roasting, until tender, about 25 minutes total. Stir together cayenne, zest, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Whisk together lime juice and remaining tablespoon oil in a medium bowl, then add potatoes. Sprinkle with cayenne mixture and cilantro, stirring gently to combine.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH LIME SYRUP AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
• Toss potatoes with butter, salt, and pepper in a bowl until coated well, then spread in 1 layer in 2 shallow baking pans (15 by 10 by 1 inch) and roast, uncovered, switching position of pans halfway through roasting, until potatoes are tender and undersides are browned, 15 to 20 minutes total.
• While potatoes roast, bring water, sugar, and lime juice to a boil in a very small saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then simmer until reduced to about 3 tablespoons, 3 to 4 minutes. Toss potatoes with syrup and zest in a large bowl, then sprinkle with chives.
