3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
