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.

I only added half the cream and butter, plus salt and pepper and the sweet potatoes were amazing! Best thing about christmas supper. My potatoes were really large so they were in the oven over an hour. Can't wait to make them again.

An Ina Classic.....Elegant, Awesome and Easy. A tradition in our home for most holidays. We were not crazy about the stronger orange over tones, so we reduced the O J by half and added in more cream. ( just enough to replace the OJ we took out, to keep consistency the same. With that change, this recipe is 5 star all the way. A great make ahead . Can make this a few days ahead. ..Just cover w/ foil, let sit out for 30 --40 minutes, then warm up in the oven..Make 2 of theses if your doing a holiday dinner. Most people want to take home some leftovers. REDUCE THE SALT to a scant 1 teaspoon as well

I am making these for the third year in a row. I would never touch sweet potatoes until I had these. The BEST!
