Orange-Ginger Sweet Potatoes image

I saw this recipe posted in a local newspaper for the upcoming Thanksgiving. I haven't made this yet, but wanted to post it for others who are looking for a nice side dish for the holidays. Prep time includes the time needed to bake the potatoes.

Time 2h40m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 large sweet potatoes (approx. 5 lbs)
3/4 cup butter
1/3 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons candied ginger (minced)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup dark rum (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Bake potatoes on a cookie sheet until soft (approx. 1.5 hrs).
  • When cool enough to handle, peel and chunk potatoes into a large bowl.
  • Add butter and other ingredients and toss to mix.
  • Mash potatoes thoroughly or puree in a blender. A hand mixer works well also.
  • Lower oven temperature to 350F.
  • Turn mashed potatoes into a casserole dish and dot the top with a bit of additional butter.
  • Bake 30-40 minutes until hot.
  • NOTE: This can be made ahead of time. Bring the mashed potato mixture to room temperature before dotting with butter and baking until hot.

I roasted the sweet potatoes for a little longer than the recipe called for and they got a little too caramelized. I think I'll stick to the recommended cooking time next time.

I didn't have any fresh ginger, so I used ground ginger instead. It worked just fine.

I'm allergic to oranges, so I substituted lemon zest and juice. The sweet potatoes still turned out great!

These sweet potatoes were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll cut back on the honey next time.

I followed the recipe but my sweet potatoes didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll try roasting them at a higher temperature next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sweet potatoes turned out great! They were slightly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The orange and ginger flavors were subtle but delicious.
