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
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- 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.
- Remove potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool enough to handle.
- 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.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mash everything together until well combined.
- If necessary, heat the potatoes back up on the stove top before serving.
- Serve with butter and chopped pecans.
