With its deepest roots in soul food traditions, candied yams are a mainstay of Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas dinners across the American South.
Confusingly, though yams and sweet potatoes are different root vegetables, the words are used interchangeably in parts of the United States.
Customize this easy candied yams recipe by swapping the bourbon for Tennessee whiskey, rum, or cognac; if you prefer to go without the booze, try apple cider or fresh orange juice.
After the candied yams come out of the oven, sprinkle toasted pecans, walnuts, or coconut flakes over the top for added flavor and texture.
