Not being a big fan of the traditional Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallow on top I came up with this.

4-6 lbs of sweet potatoes

4 Tbs of Bourbon

1 stick of butter, softened

2 cups pecan halves

1 tsp. kosher salt

2 Tbs. packed dark brown sugar. Light will work just as well.

Preheat oven to 425°

Prick sweet potatoes with a fork and bake in oven about 1 hour.  When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel potatoes cut into quarters and put in food processor.  Add bourbon and 6 Tbs. of butter.  Puree about 1 min.  Transfer to a 2qt shallow baking dish.

Reduce oven temp to 325°

In a shallow baking pan spread pecans in a single layer and bake about 10 min.  In a small bowl toss pecans with the remaining 2 Tbs. of butter and kosher salt.

Evenly spread pecans on top of puree and sprinkle with brown sugar.  Bake till heated through and pecans are slightly brown.  About 30 min.
