Mashed Sweet Potato Recipe with Rum! A
"Southern Flair?”
Secret Recipe From Restaurant
I developed this restaurant mashed sweet potato recipe for a
Women's Networking group that wanted something with a
"southern flair." Is it the coconut and/or pecans or the rum?

As an option you could substitute chopped pecans for coconut or use a little of each.
Sweet potatoes may be boiled or baked. If baked, allow them to cool enough to handle, cut open
and scoop out into a bowl and mash with other ingredients.
Serve the restaurant recipe for sweet potatoes with baked ham, roast turkey, roast pork, roast
prime rib or as a buffet side dish.
