Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes
- A generous ½ cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
- Approximately ⅔ cup of golden light brown sugar
- A decadent ¼ cup of softened margarine
- A hint of ½ teaspoon of freshly grated orange zest
- Just a touch of ¼ teaspoon of fragrant ground cinnamon
Step 1
Get ready to embark on a delicious journey by preheating your oven to a toasty 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and lining a cookie sheet with shiny aluminum foil.
Step 2
Give those sweet potatoes a good scrub, then show them some love by deeply pricking them in several spots with a trusty fork before placing them on the prepared cookie sheet.
Step 3
Let the oven work its magic as the potatoes bake until tender, which usually takes around 45 minutes. Once they're done, allow them to cool for about 15 minutes until they're comfortable to handle.
Step 4
Now comes the fun part - scoop out the sweet potato goodness into a spacious bowl and mash it up like a pro. Next, add a splash of orange juice, a sprinkle of brown sugar, a dollop of margarine, a hint of orange peel, and a dash of cinnamon to the mix.
Step 5
For an extra smooth texture, feel free to whip everything together using an electric mixer. Transfer the delectable mixture to a microwave-safe dish and pop it in the microwave on HIGH for about 5 minutes, or until it's heated through.
Step 6
Get ready to indulge in a flavorful and comforting dish that will surely impress your taste buds!
