1 Video | Photo: Smashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 pounds sweet potatoes (about 6 large)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Scrub the potatoes, prick them several times with a knife or fork, and bake them for 1 hour or until very soft when pierced with a knife. Remove from the oven and scoop out the insides as soon as they are cool enough to handle. Place the sweet potato meat into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and add the orange juice, cream, butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix together until combined but not smooth and transfer to a baking dish.
Bake the potatoes for 20 to 30 minutes, until heated through.

Fabulous and easy, the absolute best sweet potato recipe I have ever tasted, must be in the baking as last reviewer wrote.

I've only made mashed sweet potatoes a couple of times in the past, and they've turned out okay. Ina's recipe is great! The most important difference was baking the sweet potatoes. Most recipes I've seen say to boil them. Baking them retains such a gorgeous color! Getting the skins off them was super easy too. I love the touch of orange juice in the recipe. I am the only one in my house who likes sweet potatoes, so I only baked one, and cut the recipe to about 1/4 or so. My proprtions might have been a little off. But it was super tasty. It's a keeper!

This recipe should be renamed HOW INA GARTEN STOLE THANKSGIVING. I tried this recipe this past Thanksgiving and it tasted just like ORANGE JUICE with texture.
