Sweet potatoes are a versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. One delicious way to cook sweet potatoes is with an orange sauce. The sweet potatoes are roasted until caramelized, then tossed in a tangy and sweet orange sauce. This dish is a perfect combination of flavors and textures. The sweet potatoes are soft and tender on the inside, while the caramelized edges add a bit of crispy texture. The orange sauce is bright and citrusy, with a hint of acidity that balances out the sweetness of the potatoes.

SWEET POTATOES IN ORANGE CUPS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C.
- Place the orange juice in a saucepan with the sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn down the heat to medium-high and simmer fairly rapidly for about 20 minutes, until the liquid has thickened and reduced to scant 1 cup/200 ml (about the amount in a large glass of wine). Add the bitters, olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl, add the chiles, sage, thyme, and garlic, and then pour in the reduced sauce. Toss well so that everything is coated and then spread the mixture out in a single layer on a baking sheet on which it fits snugly, about 12 by 16 inches/30 by 40 cm.
- Place in the oven and roast for 50 to 60 minutes, turning and basting the potatoes every 15 minutes or so. They need to remain coated in the liquid in order to caramelize, so add more orange juice if the pan is drying out. At the end, the potatoes should be dark and sticky. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly before arranging on a platter and dotting with the goat cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.
