You don't need to add much liqueur, too much would certainly over-do it. I made this with 4 very large sweet potatoes, 1 stick of salted butter, all the brown sugar called for and a little more than 3 tablespoons of Kahlua. Very rich, very easy and very good.

I made these without the raisins or Kahlua and they were delish!

Very Good, I thought that the Kahlua taste may have been slightly overwhelming (even though i love kahlua), but no one else did. I made these for the first time for Thanksgiving dinner and they were a huge hit!

Delicious! I took others advice and added kahlua slowly so I didn't use as much as the recipe called for. I also didn't have nuts, so I made it without and it was still very good.

We all enjoy Kahlua, so I was very excited to try this for Christmas dinner. The Kahlua killed it and was not at all complementary in taste with the sweet potatoes. The flavors simply did not blend well together at all. This may have tasted better with less Kahlua used as an accent flavor to the sweet potatoes, but the recipe as written creates a clash of flavors each attempting to claim the dish. If making this recipe, I would suggest adding the Kahlua in small doses a little at a time until a nice flavor has been reached. This was the only dish that everyone turned down when it was time to pack left-overs and send them home with my guests. Sorry......but this recipe should state to add the Kahlua until the desired taste is achieved.

I screwed up... this is my first time making candied veggies and I didn't read close enough. So I put the sugar, etc. in while the potatoes were still in the pan. Since they didn't candy, I just mashed them. They were still a big hit. I do agree that the next time I'll cut down on the amount of kahlua. It was good, but 1/2 to 2/3 as much should work out fine for our tastes.

I found a very similar recipe without raisins and pecan. I made it this year for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. It's a fantastic recipe. We love Kahlua so I double the amount of Kahlua and it was great.
