- NOTES : One of New Orleans favorite yam dishes, festive and attractive. The yams are partially baked in their jackets first, then peeled and baked in a casserole with butter. Curacao (orange flavored liqueur), bourbon, and spices. To get the flavors thoroughly distributed during baking, take the dish out of the oven after 20 min and stir the yams gently with a wooden spoon, bringing the bottom layers up to the top. Then, pack them down with the back of the spoon and put a bit more butter on top to create a lightly glazed crust. Regular sweet potatoes will work.E Cointreau plus 2 teaspoon sugar can be used in place of Curacao.E
