Extra virgin olive oil, as needed

Place apricots and tequila in a small bowl and let soak. Toss the potatoes in the olive oil and place in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
Roast in the oven until fork tender.
When finished, put the potatoes in a large bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, as well as the apricots. Mash until mixture is smooth.
Place the mixture in a baking dish and cook until heated through.
