For the holidaze...

Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Truffles and Bourbon


8 medium (4 pounds) sweet potatoes
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 small black truffle, chopped (optional)
2 to 3 teaspoons black or white truffle oil*
2 tablespoons light corn syrup (pure cane syrup is better)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup bourbon whiskey

* Trader Joe's or any good gourmet shop.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the sweet potatoes for approximately 60 to 90 minutes or until tender; remove from oven. Peel and mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher or ricer until they're smooth and free of chunks.

Add melted butter, optional chopped truffle, corn syrup, salt, and bourbon. Mix thoroughly to blend.

Pour into a baking dish and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until warmed through.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

That's because you know subconsciously that they're actually an alien species attempting to take over the earth by infiltrating our bodies.
