  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add sweet potatoes and return to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.

  • Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large bowl. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth. Add eggs; stir until combined. Add brown sugar, milk, butter, liqueur, vanilla, lemon juice and salt; stir until combined. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish.

  • Bake until heated through, about 25 minutes. Serve hot.

Tip

I use Rivulet Pecan Liqueur, an American-made spirit produced by a Black-owned company in Kentucky.
