How to Make Brandied Sweet Potatoes

  1. Boil 3 lbs of peeled and cubed sweet potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes well and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Beat the potatoes with an electric mixer until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Add 2 large eggs, 1 cup of heavy cream, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground nutmeg, and ¼ tsp ground cloves. Mix until well combined.
  5. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in ¼ cup of brandy (or bourbon). Taste and add more brandy to your preference.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  9. In a separate bowl, combine 6 tbsp melted butter, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, and ¼ cup all-purpose flour until evenly crumbly.
  10. Spread the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
