TEQUILA AND LIME SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into 3/4" thick slices.
• In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil and then add the potatoes -- when they begin to re-boil, allow them to go for 6 minutes, uncovered, (they should be just tender) and then drain them with a colander.
• Mix the lime juice, honey and tequila together in a small bowl.
• Set up a large baking sheet on which there is a metal grill-type rack. Lay the potatoes out on the rack and brush them with the lime-honey-tequila sauce.
• Broil the potatoes until they brown on one side, flip them and when they brown on the second side, they're done.
• NOTE: A second option is to grill the brushed potatoes on a gas or charcoal grill.
