Ingredients

  • 6 sweet potatoes, unpeeled
  • 1/2 stick butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 6 large oranges (heavy for their size)
  • 48 mini-marshmallows

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cover sweet potatoes with cold water in a pot and boil until fork tender. Peel the potatoes, transfer to a bowl, and mash. Stir in butter, orange juice, and pecans and mix until incorporated.

For the orange shells, cut each orange in half and scoop out the pulp using a small knife or grapefruit spoon. Reserve the pulp for another use.

Fill each orange shell with the potato mixture and top off with the marshmallows. Bake until hot and the marshmallows are melted.

    This was such a unique dish, and easy too. The orange flavor from the cups really added a great surprise ending!

    Not that great

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    This was NOT a good recipe. I don't see why there are all these good reviews... If you have to add things to a recipe then... it's not a good recipe. It doesn't have enough flavor. I added brown sugar, honey, nutmeg, cinamon and vanilla... That's a lot to add to a recipe..Read more

    Pefect for a last minute side dish

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I decided to make one more side dish the night before Thanksgiving. I add brown sugar and cinnamon like another person... suggested. They turned out perfectly. When I reheated to melt the marshmellow, I did it when my father was craving the turkey. It was perfect timing.Read more
