We didn't add Bourbon because of alcohol. The sugar in it isn't healthy, but the potatoes and apples with lemond juice makes its a little bit better. But hey, its sweet potatoes!

Eew! Raw sweet potatoes and bran would be gastly!, I agree!
This looks good. I was afraid it would suggest raw sweet potatoes and bran.
Oh, I see, it's the Bourbon that makes it healthy!
