Stafford's Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Stafford's Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes:

6 large sweet potatoes

1/2 cup heavy cream

5 tablespoons light brown sugar

3 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup bourbon

Pinch salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet and bake until tender and begins to ooze sugary syrup, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.

Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a large bowl. Add the cream, sugar, butter, bourbon, salt and pepper, and mix, mashing until the potato mixture is smooth. Cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
