Tennessee Whiskey Infused Sweet Potato Dish

Ingredients 0/9

Step 1

Warm your oven to 325°F (165°C). While that’s warming up, bring a big pot of water to a boil. Toss in the sweet potatoes and cook them until they’re tender, which usually takes about 7 minutes. Once they’re soft, drain them and pop them into a large bowl. Mash the potatoes until they’re nice and smooth.

Step 2

Mix in the brown sugar, Tennessee whiskey, softened butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Give everything a good stir until it’s all combined, then spread this mixture evenly into a 1-quart casserole dish.

Step 3

In a small skillet, melt the remaining butter over low heat. Stir in more brown sugar until it’s all melted together, then add the pecans. Keep stirring for a couple of minutes so the nuts get fully coated in that sweet buttery glaze.

Step 4

Sprinkle the glazed pecans over the sweet potato mixture, then slide the dish into the oven. Bake it until the edges start to brown and everything looks delicious, about 25 minutes. Let it cool just a bit before serving, and enjoy!
