Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes (4 cups mashed)
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter melted (or more to taste)
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup or more to taste
  • 3 Tbsp bourbon whisky
  • 1 Tbsp orange zest
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cardamom optional
  • 1 tsp sea salt or to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes and pat them dry. Poke several holes in each potato with a fork and wrap them in foil. Place potatoes on the center wrack of your oven and roast until very soft and juices are seeping out, about 60 to 90 minutes.
  3. Remove potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool enough to handle.
  4. Peel the skin off of the potatoes (it should come off easily using your hands), and place the flesh in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  5. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mash everything together until well combined.
  6. If necessary, heat the potatoes back up on the stove top before serving.
  7. Serve with butter and chopped pecans.
