Bourbon Pecan Smashed Sweet Potatoes image

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.

I'm not a fan of bourbon, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was flavorful and the pecans added a nice crunch. I would definitely make this again, even without the bourbon.
