Orange Whipped Sweet Potatoes

By Lorraine

Orange Whipped Sweet Potatoes are a delicious side dish for poultry, pork or beef. Flavored with orange juice, brown sugar and a hint of nutmeg. I love sweet potatoes just about any way they can be made.  Candied sweet potatoes are always a highlight at the Thanksgiving table. I think a sweet potato simply baked in its jacket until the sugars ooze out of the cuts then topped with butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper is very close to perfect. But I really like Orange Whipped Sweet Potatoes for its orange flavor. 

Orange Whipped Sweet Potatoes Recipe

adapted from Taste of Home 2002 Book

 
INGREDIENTS:
  • 3 pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1/3 to 2/3 cups orange juice
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (may need more)
  • pepper (I like lots)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Fresh parsley (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Bake scrubbed sweet potatoes in 400 degree oven for about 45 minutes until soft. Scoop out of skins when cool enough to handle.

    I'm with you, any which way for me and this looks really good. I'll be low-carbing with a baked yam and dreaming of your version. My DIL makes a candied version everyone likes. Have a happy one, L.

    When I first saw the title I thought you were talking about white potatoes –as I often mash them with carrots and they do become orange! Enjoyed seeing the pictures of your weekend with the kiddos! Blessings at Thanksgiving!

    I can almost taste it! It sounds wonderful! I have three family members with special dietary situations – they can't have some of the things traditionally in recipes for sweet potatoes so we always bake them. I love them baked but would love to try this recipe.

    Happy Thanksgiving Sweetie…
    I have never had sweet potatoes mashed, and love adding a little something new to the holiday menu each year. Guess what we will be trying for Christmas? I can't wait.

    DH and I usually go out for Thanksgiving. I am not able to handle two holiday meals so close together for such a large group, especially after the 10-12 hour days I work each week.

    Have a blessed week sweetie. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for blessing my heart being a blogger friend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
