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.

I tried Ina's recipe for the first time this Thanksgiving and worked with around 5# of potatoes. I up adjusted some of the ingredients to allow for the additional pound of potatoes and the end dish turned out pretty well. I would add a word of caution on the 2 teaspoons of salt. Even with the additional pound of potatoes, the dish was noticeably salty. I would suggest starting with 1 teaspoon and adding additional salt to taste. I also made a topping mixture of graham crackers, brown sugar and pecans which I process in my food processor and sprinkled over the top. If it weren't for the salt factor I would have given this recipe 5-stars.

I did watch the video and altered the recipe to 2 tablespoons butter and omitted the salt and pepper. The result I got was a little thinner than I like and the color was drab. I should have bought yams that are brighter orange. The flavor was okay but not the WOW from all the great reviews.

I've been making my mom's sweet potato casserole for years now. Needed to 'shake things up' this year! I just made it today for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Made it exactly how it's written. The ingredients from this to my mom's is not too different EXCEPT the OJ - wow! The OJ made a difference! Because my husband is a marshmallow freak, I'm going to add them on top tomorrow. Something else from my mom's recipe that you might want to try is adding chopped pecans with the marshmallow toping. We are from New Orleans, so pecans are on the menu! Try this recipe THIS year. It will become your NEW sweet potato casserole!

Good not be more perfect. I also added some of the orange zest and streusel trooping.

I love this recipe. I've been preparing it for Thanksgiving every year since I first saw Ina make it. It has such a wonderful mix of flavors, especially the OJ and the hint of nutmeg. And the best part of all is I make it the day before so I just pop it in the oven on Thanksgiving. It's hands down better than the stuff with the marshmallows my Mother used to make. Sorry Mom!

This recipe is different than the video. She says to add 2 tbsp butter and never mentions adding salt and pepper. Which one is correct?!
