MASHED MAPLE SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Pierce potatoes with fork. Place potatoes in 9-inch square pan. Cover; bake about 1 hour 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
• Let potatoes stand about 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle; slip off skins and discard.
• In 2-quart saucepan, heat maple syrup and butter to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Add potatoes to saucepan; mash potatoes with syrup mixture, using electric mixer on medium speed, until light and fluffy. Stir in salt and nutmeg. Sprinkle with pecans.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potatoes 2 or 3 times with a fork. Put on a baking sheet and roast until very tender and a knife easily pierces through the center, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Let the potatoes cool slightly and then halve lengthwise. Holding the sweet potatoes with a potholder or towel, scoop out the insides and discard the skins. Pass the potatoes through a food mill or ricer into a large bowl.
• Heat the butter, maple syrup and zest in a small skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted. Pour over the potatoes and stir to combine evenly. Season with salt and pepper.

MASHED MAPLE BOURBON SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the sweet potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until very soft to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel them by hand and put the flesh in the bowl of a mixer. Using a paddle attachment, mix in the lemon zest and juice, maple syrup and brown sugar.
• Place the bourbon in a small saucepan and place over high heat. Let it come just to the boil and then tilt the pan slightly towards you to set it aflame*. Add to the potatoes along with the butter. Mix well. Add salt and pepper and transfer to a 13 by 9-inch oven-safe casserole dish. (Recipe can be made to this point up to 2 days before, refrigerated.) Sprinkle topping over potatoes and bake for 20 minutes until the top is golden brown.
• Alternatively, you may simply sprinkle the top of the casserole with a little bit of brown sugar and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
• Mix the flour, brown sugar, salt, pepper, thyme and pecans together in a small bowl. Add the butter and work with your fingers until a crumbly mass forms.
