BourbonYams

INGREDIENTS

1. 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature, divided, plus more for dish
2. 6 sweet potatoes (4 pounds)
3. 1/4 c. bourbon or whiskey
4. 4 tbsp. brown sugar Kosher salt
5. 1 c. pecans, chopped
6. 3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

Step 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly butter a 2-quart baking dish. Roast potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet until a knife easily inserts into centers, 1 hour. Cool enough to handle, then remove and discard skins. Coarsely chop potatoes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.

Step 2 Mash together potatoes, bourbon, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a bowl. Season with salt. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Combine pecans, cinnamon, remaining 4 tablespoons butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a second bowl. Sprinkle over potatoes.

Step 3 Bake until bubbly and warmed through, 30 to 35 minutes.
