Bourbon Pecan Smashed Sweet Potatoes

This recipe is a Rachael Ray recipe. I made this at Christmas in 2007, and it was great!

• 6 Medium Sweet Potatoes, Diced
• 5 Tbsp "I Can't Believe Its Not Butter"
• 1 Cup Chopped Pecans
• 4 Oz Bourbon Whiskey
• 1 Cup Fresh Orange Juice
• 1/4 Tsp Ground Pepper
• 1/3 Tsp Kosher Salt
• 1 Tsp Ground Nutmeg

1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
2. Add sweet potatoes and cook 12 to 15 minutes until very tender.
3. Drain sweet potatoes in a colander.
4. Return pan to medium heat. Add butter to the pan.
5. When butter melts, add nuts and toast for 2 minutes. Add sugar and let it bubble. Add bourbon and cook out alcohol, 1 minute.
6. Add orange juice and the cooked sweet potatoes. Smash with a masher and season the sweet potatoes with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
