These were delicious! I used a bit less bourbon than the recipe called for, but they were still very flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.

I've made these sweet potatoes twice now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so creamy and flavorful, and the bourbon adds a nice touch of warmth. I highly recommend them!

These sweet potatoes were a hit! I made them for Thanksgiving and everyone loved them. They were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making them again.
