Kentucky Bourbon Sweet Potatoes
Mozelle Lanclos
"This recipe was been in the family for years, I don't know where it came from. The only thing I changed was amount of bourbon. If you prefer to use canned sweet potatoes, it takes three (18 ounce) cans."

I could not get the sweet potatoes fully cooked or covered by juice. I would either cook the sweet potatoes first and then bake them, or use less potatoes so they'd be fully covered.
