What a hit! The family loved it, co-workers loved it, even my picky sister loved it! Thanks for sharing this will be a new family tradition!

Absolutely delightful, it was almost a dessert (and for the calories, it is like a dessert)! This overflowed a 2 1/2-quart casserole, and I could have cut back on the topping by 1/3. From 3 lbs sweet potatoes, I ended up with a tad over 4 cups riced potatoes, which I made the night before. There is very little bourbon in proportion to the other ingredients, so I would serve to children, but not to people on alcohol-sensitive medications. I'm glad it freezes well, because DH is looking forward to its reprise! Thanks for sharing, Mary. Made for Photo Tag.
