  Ingredients

  • 4 Pound sweet potatoes

• Step 3

  Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork, then press through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean large bowl to remove any lumps. Add the brown sugar, eggs, cream, butter, vanilla, thyme, and Traeger Chicken Rub and stir well to combine. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish, transfer the sweet potato mixture to it, and smooth the top.

  • 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 Teaspoon Traeger Chicken Rub

• Step 4

  Make the topping: In a large bowl, combine the ¾ cup brown sugar, chopped pecans, butter, flour, salt, and bourbon, if using. Use your fingers to bring the mixture together, mashing some of the butter into smaller bits as you go. Sprinkle the topping over the potatoes.
