SWEET POTATOES WITH BOURBON AND BROWN SUGAR



Sweet Potatoes With Bourbon and Brown Sugar image

These silky mashed sweet potatoes are spiced with cloves, nutmeg and a little black pepper, brightened with lemon zest, and spiked with bourbon (or orange juice, if you'd prefer). Puréeing them in a food processor yields the smoothest, airiest texture, but for something a little more rustic, you could mash them by hand. Whichever you choose, these reheat well, either in a microwave or in a pot over low heat.

Yield 10 to 12 servings
