Candied Yams
  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Butter a medium baking dish.

  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, orange juice, butter, cinnamon stick, bourbon if using, nutmeg, and salt. Stir to combine and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until it has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. When reduced, remove and discard cinnamon stick.

  3. Meanwhile, prep potatoes: Peel potatoes and slice into ½" rounds, then layer in prepared baking dish. Pour thickened syrup over potatoes and cover dish with aluminum foil.

  4. Bake 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake about 50 minutes to 1 hour more, basting with sauce every 15 minutes.

  5. Let cool slightly before serving.
