Healthy and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great recipe and very easy. To make it even easier you can bake the potatoes at 400 for about 50 minutes and just... squeeze them into the bowl. Saves the chopping and peeling!Read more

Not bad, but skip the orange
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I love sweet potatoes and I love orange zest, but I wasn't too keen on the flavors combined in this dish. I would make it... again but skip the orange juice/zest. I also left out the nutmeg. I did use the butter and thought the potatoes had a nice texture overall.Read more

My fiance wasn't so thrilled about the combo of orange and sweet potatoes, but I loved the unique flavor and texture.
