INSTRUCTIONS
RUM GLAZE
Heat a large pot of water to boiling. Meanwhile, peel potatoes and cut into
quarters. Add to boiling water with salt. Boil 20 minutes, or until tender.
Drain well.
Preheat the oven to 400°. Coat a 2-qt. casserole dish with nonstick cooking
spray. Set aside.
Mash potatoes coarsely with a fork or a potato masher. Transfer to the
prepared casserole dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Prepare rum glaze: Melt butter in a medium-sized, heavy skillet. Stir in
sugar and lemon juice and cook over medium-high heat 3 minutes, or until
bubbly. Add rum, return the mixture to a boil, and pour over sweet
potatoes.
Bake 45 minutes, or until the glaze has become slightly crusty and nicely
golden. Cool for 5 minutes. Makes 12 servings.
