Tipsy Sweet Potatoes Recipe

Whiskey makes mashed sweet potatoes a bit tipsy. They are sweetened with brown sugar and topped with pecans and/or marshmallows. Although much of the alcohol in the whiskey will burn off, the rich flavor will remain. This is a nice change from traditional sweet potatoes.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2-1/2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
• 4 Tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup Jack Daniel's Whiskey
• Pecan halves or marshmallow for topping

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Combine sweet potatoes, butter, brown sugar, salt, and whiskey. Spoon into a greased 1-quart casserole. Top with pecans halves or marshmallows. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbly.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
