Servings: persons

2 tablespoons oil veggie
3 pounds sweet potatoes about 6 round, not skinny
1/2 cup creme fraiche or cream cheese
6 tablespoons melted butter divided
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons bourbon
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg divided
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts or pecans, walnuts...
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
salt
pepper

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Oil the sweet potatoes and roast on rimmed baking sheet until very tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (You can nook them in the microwave to speed the roasting time!)
2
Cool slightly. Cut each potato in half and place the flesh of the top halves in a bowl-it should just fall out of the skin. Gently scoop the flesh out of the bottom halves and add it to the bowl, leaving a little around the edges for stability. Mix in the creme fraiche, 4 Tbs. butter, syrup, bourbon, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 3/4 tsp. nutmeg, 1 tsp. salt and pepper to taste. Using a hand mixer (or immersion blender), puree until smooth.
3
Scoop the potato puree back into the bottom halves. Mix the remaining 2 Tb. of butter and 1/4 tsp. nutmeg with the panko and chopped nuts. Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the mixture over the tops of the sweet potatoes. Bake another 15-20 minutes until warmed through and golden on top!
