Ingredients:

• 2 pounds sweet potatoes
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 ounces whiskey or bourbon
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Scrub sweet potato, poke several times with a sharp knife to pierce the skin, rub with oil, and then place in a foil lined baking dish or cookie sheet. Roast in the oven for at least an hour until very soft. Remove from the oven and peel off the skin. Slice into large pieces.

In a large skillet, bring butter, sugar, and orange juice to a simmer. Add the sweet potato pieces and then pour liquor over the potatoes. Remove from the stove and carefully ignite. When the flames stop, return to the stove, and mash the potatoes with a fork. Can be served immediately or cooked until desired consistency is reached. Sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.

Serves 4.
