BOURBON PECAN SMASHED SWEET POTATOES
Got this recipe from Rachel Rays' show, '30 minute meals' - (Food Network). We tried this last Thanksgiving and were hooked! We did lessen the amount of Bourbon in it though, it was overpowering the full amount, which we cut in half.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have no blemishes.
- Peeling the sweet potatoes is optional; leaving the skin on will add extra nutrients and fiber to the dish.
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the sweet potatoes so that they have plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet or griddle, or the sweet potatoes will not cook properly.
- Cook the sweet potatoes over medium heat so that they have time to caramelize and develop a nice crust.
- Flip the sweet potatoes once during cooking to ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
- If the sweet potatoes start to stick to the skillet or griddle, add a little bit of water or oil.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly before smashing them.
- Use a potato masher or fork to smash the sweet potatoes to your desired consistency.
- Top the smashed sweet potatoes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans, or marshmallows.
