For the Mashed Sweet Potatoes:
2
Pre-heat oven to 350u00b0F.
3
Bake potatoes for one hour to one hour and 20 minutes or until fork tender and syrup begins to bubble out. Remove from oven and cool.

When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skins and put flesh into a large mixing bowl. Add bourbon, brown sugar, molasses, salt and 2/3 of the cream.
5
With an electric mixer, beat on high speed until smooth. Add enough of the reserved cream until the potatoes are the desired consistency. Pour into a heated serving dish, cover and keep warm. May be reheated before serving.

Top with pecan topping just before serving.

Pre-heat oven to 350u00b0F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray, set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, toss together the pecans, almonds, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix in the butter until the mixture is blended but still a little lumpy. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet with sides. Toast granola in oven until toasted, about 30 minutes. Be careful not to burn the nuts.

Granola can be made a few days ahead of time but, only if you can resist the urge to snack on it!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
