Maple Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Description
It's not a sweet potato casserole, but perhaps even better. This side dish starts with roasted sweet potatoes and are combined with maple syrup, a bit of bourbon, butter and nutmeg and all topped with chopped pecans and a pat of butter.
Ingredients
5 medium sweet potatoes
2 t. pure maple syrup
3 T. bourbon
4 T. unsalted butter, melted
1/2 t. nutmeg
1 1/2 t. kosher salt
1/4 c. chopped pecans and a pat of butter, for serving

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork; wrap them in aluminum foil; roast for 1 hour until fork tender.
When done, discard the skins; add the sweet potatoes to a large bowl or a food processor.
Add the remaining ingredients, the butter, bourbon, maple syrup, nutmeg, and salt. Mash or whip on high speed until desired consistency. Salt, to taste.
Place the potato mixture in a serving bowl.
Serve hot with a pat of butter and a sprinkling of chopped pecans.
