SWEET POTATOES IN ORANGE CUPS



Sweet Potatoes in Orange Cups image

I made these for a recent "kid's dinner party" that my friends and I do every week and I can't even tell you how hard I laughed when I pulled these sweet potatoes out of the oven and three of the kids simultaneously yelled "cupcakes"! No matter what we said they decided the orange and white "cupcakes" were a holiday treat and scarfed them down. These heavenly treats only take minutes to prepare, and they made quite a visual and edible impact on the kids and adults alike.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds yams or sweet potatoes (you want to use potatoes that are really orange, also known as yams)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
3 navel oranges
Mini marshmallows, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Poke the yams several times with a fork or knife to pierce the skin. Place on foil or a baking sheet in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
  • Let the yams cool for several minutes, then cut in half and scoop out the fluffy insides into a large bowl (I love eating the high fiber skin as a snack). Mash the yams with the butter, brown sugar or maple syrup, evaporated milk and salt until creamy and fluffy.
  • Cut the oranges in half and slice a very thin disk from the bottom so they rest flat; the skins are going to be the "bowls." With a paring knife cut around the inside rim of the orange removing the orange sections and pulp. Place any of the orange juice and pulp in a bowl and discard the white membranes and seeds. Save the juice and pulp for a cranberry sauce recipe or just enjoy as a snack.
  • Fill each orange cup with 1/4 cup of puree and top with several mini marshmallows (you can cover and refrigerate these overnight).
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the orange cups on a baking sheet and bake until the marshmallows are golden, 20 to 25 minutes (see Cook's Note). Serve.

Little kids can hold them in their hands and walk around without spilling. You can prepare this up to three days ahead of time and it travels well. There's an extra bonus: The orange sections can be used for making delicious ambrosia.

MASHED YAMS IN ORANGE CUPS



Mashed Yams in Orange Cups image

Categories     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Orange     Pecan     Sweet Potato/Yam     Fall     Maple Syrup     Bon Appétit     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 pounds large yams (red-skinned sweet potatoes)
3/4 cup marshmallow creme
9 tablespoons butter, room temperature
6 tablespoons maple syrup
3 large eggs
9 large oranges
Additional marshmallow creme
36 pecan halves

Steps:

  • Pierce each yam all over with fork. Working in 2 batches, cook yams in microwave 15 minutes. Turn yams over; cook until tender, about 12 minutes longer. Cut yams in half; scoop pulp into bowl. Add 3/4 cup marshmallow creme, butter, and syrup; mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in eggs. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut thin slice from top and bottom of each orange to make flat surfaces. Cut oranges in half. Scoop out pulp; reserve for another use. Place orange cups on 2 baking sheets. Divide yam mixture equally among cups. Top each with dollop of marshmallow creme and 2 pecan halves. Bake until beginning to brown, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Use firm and medium-sized sweet potatoes for best results.
  • Cook sweet potatoes thoroughly: Prick the potatoes with a fork and microwave for 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender. You can also bake them in the oven at 400°F for 45-60 minutes.
  • Scoop out the sweet potato flesh carefully: Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings! Try a mix of cooked ground beef, black beans, corn, and salsa, or a vegetarian filling made with tofu, mushrooms, and spinach.
  • Don't overfill the sweet potato shells: Fill them just enough so that the filling doesn't spill over when you bake them.
  • Top with cheese: A sprinkle of shredded cheese on top of the filling will give your sweet potato cups a delicious golden crust.
  • Bake until heated through: Bake the sweet potato cups in a preheated oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Sweet potatoes in orange cups are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of fillings and toppings to choose from, you're sure to find a combination that you love.
