Sweet Potatoes - Irish

From lor 14 years ago

This recipe came from an old Wild Olds recipe book. This recipe was posted on another site by Sherri Simmons but I have altered it somewhat.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add sweet potatoes and cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add minced shallots and garlic.
Saute for 2 minutes.
Add thyme, liqueur (if using),orange juice and maple syrup.
Simmer at a lower temperature for 5 minutes and remove from heat.
Drain sweet potatoes and return them to pot. Mash while still hot, then add reserved liquids and mix well.
Season with salt & pepper to taste.
it can be made in advance then gently reheated before serving
