directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour.
  • Peel the skin off of the sweet potatoes while still hot. By hand or mixer, smash potatoes until all large chunks are gone.
  • Combine the potatoes, butter, salt, orange juice, brown sugar, ground cumin, molasses and maple syrup in a large bowl. Continue to mix all together until all lumps are gone.
  • Adjust any of the seasonings to your specific tastes. Can be made the day before.

  1. I really liked these sweet potatoes. Despite all the ingredients, it's not cloyingly sweet at all, and the cumin adds a nice exotic flavor. I boiled my potatoes instead of roasting them- saved so much time! Served with a roasted garlic gravy.

By day, a friendly food inspector for the Utah Dept. of Agriculture. The rest of the time, trying to sneak a few more veggies into the diet, keep my husband's diabetes under control, and convince the extra fifty pounds I've been carrying around all my adult life to go bother someone else.
