This is a wonderful variation of my favourite sweet potatoe recipe! (Ive never used alcohol, but I'm sure it would really jazz up the flavor!)This is a recipe for people who usually dont like sweet potatoes....its almost like a dessert....delicious!

Excellent! Since I have recovering alcoholics in my family, I substituted apple juice for the alcohol. The dish was still soooo yummy! Then I went to my friend's house for Thanksgiving and had her version, with rum. I've decided this Christmas I'll make two batches, one with rum, one without. It's THAT much better with the rum! :D The only thing I'll change is to cut back a bit on the butter in the topping.
