Serving size
6-8 servings

Ingredients

Base ingredients

  • 4-6 sweet potatoes (large, baked)
  • 1/2 cup Kentucky bourbon (or orange juice)
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (or to your heart’s desire)
  • a few dashes nutmeg

Topping

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Method

  1. 1

    Prepare sweet potatoes by piercing each potato with a fork and lining them on a cookie sheet.

  2. 2

  3. 3

    Cool and scoop into a large mixing bowl.

  4. 4

    Combine all ingredients except the topping, mix with hand mixer so potatoes are more like a puree.

    Combine pecans and brown sugar & sprinkle on top.

  6. 6

    Bake 35-45 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serves 6-8 (or serves none if no one likes sweet potatoes at your holiday dinner.)
