    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!

    ABSOLUTELY - THE - BEST sweet potato recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been serving this since Ina first broadcast this on her show back in '01! The recipe makes a ton - but it's always gone! One time I made extra, just so I could make little potato pancakes....OMG! I now serve those as appetizers at holiday cocktail parties!

    This is the best sweet potato casserole recipe. I make it every year for Thanksgiving. Even my sister who does not like sweet potatoes, liked this one!

    Very easy recipe and extremely delicious. I left out the orange juice because I don't like the flavor of oranges. I also added a teaspoon of vanilla extract, which I think worked well with Ina's recipe.

    The downside of this recipe is the amount of time it takes to bake the potatoes.

    I'm so impressed with this recipe. Spices are just right. I added marshmallows to the top as my family likes,but I would use them more sparingly next time as this recipe needs no help.
    Best sweet potatoes ever!!!

    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.
