Ingredients

3 large sweet potatoes, about 3 pounds
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned, warmed

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour.
Peel the sweet potatoes while still hot. Combine the potatoes, butter, salt, orange juice, maple syrup, and chicken broth in a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher until the potatoes are smooth. Serve immediately. (This can be prepared a day ahead and reheated).

Great with marshmellows on top.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been using this recipe for 5 years now and everone likes it becuse it's not too sweet. If you need the extra sweetness... add marshmellows to the top.Read more

Yummy and easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loved these taters with Christmas dinner! I took the advice of other reviewers and added a bit of brown sugar and... cinnamon, and also my own touch of blackstrap molasses and ground ginger. I really like how simple the recipe was, I'll be making these again!Read more

good things should be eaten in small quantities
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

It's a denser mashed potato (partly because the recipe doesn't call for whipping, and partly because sweet potatoes are... denser than your usual russets) than the whipped mashed potatoes I usually make, but the sweetness is yummy. So it works almost like a rich, but not so sweet dessert.Read more
