Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 lb sweet potatoes
1/2 c chopped pecans
1/4 c granulated sugar
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 c irish cream liqueur, orange liqueur, praline liqueur, or milk
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

I followed the recipe exactly, but my mashed sweet potatoes didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I think I might have overcooked them.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my mashed sweet potatoes turned out watery and bland. I think I might have added too much milk.

Not a fan of the texture of these mashed sweet potatoes. They were a bit too mushy for my taste.

These mashed sweet potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
