Not bad. I could taste the amaretto and thought it went relatively well with the sweet potato flavor. Bf didn't notice it at all. He said he'd prefer plain sweet potatoes instead of any mashed, but he's boring that way. I didnt use the microwave to bake the sweet potato but put them in the oven for about 40 min or so on 400, then peeled off the skin and mashed. thanks for the recipe!

I love sweet potatoes and am always looking for new sweet potato recipes. This recipe is great! Amaretto complements the flavor of sweet potatoes perfectly. Instead of microwaving them, I just baked five sweet potatoes for an hour at 400 degrees (after puncturing the skin, of course), then peeled the skin off the potatoes and mashed them up with Amaretto, ground ginger and cinnamon. The sweet potatoes are so soft after being baked that you don't really need to mash them. Tastes amazing!

I loved the Amaretto in this recipe--I never would have thought to add it to sweet potatoes. I actually used yams (because that is what I had on hand). I only added 2.5 Tablespoons of Amaretto and then added some brown sugar to accomodate my husband's tastes--although I probably would have liked the full 3 Tablespoons myself. I boiled the yams rather than microwaving them--for some reason I just felt weird putting them in the microwave! I'll probably make this very easy recipe again :)

I used grated fresh ginger root and added 2 TBSPs unsalted butter. It was a little dry/stiff so next time I would probably add a little chicken broth to make it moist.
