I love sweet potatoes. It's like having dessert with dinner. I made these to go with a bison flank steak, with plenty of leftovers for tonight! The bourbon enhances the cinnamon and nutmeg, without being overpowering.
Five sweet potatoes
3 Tbs brown sugar
1 Tbs. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 c. milk
1/2 shot (.75 oz.) bourbon
Rinse sweet potatoes and brush potatoes liberally with olive oil. Pierce each side with fork. Place on a cookie sheet, in 350 degree oven. Bake in oven for 30-45 minutes. Potatoes are done when pierced easily with a fork. Remove potatoes from oven and cool.
When cooled, peel potatoes and place in large mixing bowl. Add other ingredients and beat until well-incorporated. Mix in bourbon.
***My potatoes were particularly stringy, so hitting them with an immersion blender took most of the stringiness out.
