AMAZING! Will be a staple in our home for years to come. I only used a splash of OJ and I added a squirt of syrup while the brown sugar was heating up. Would have been perfect with the said recipe but we like it extra sweet =)

This was a very good recipe. I added just a little bit more brown sugar and butter and simmered it for a while, until the rest of the food was all ready. At the end I mashed it all up and it was deeeelicouse! Thanks for the recipe.

Very good. Great with a Southern meal with greens and fried chicken. Easy to make.

Pretty good, I think I will use less orange juice next time though.

Like others, I didn't precook the potatoes. Just put them in a dish, poured the sauce over and baked for an hour or so. Also added cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice, as well as pecans to the top. Came out exactly as I expected.

I don't care for sweet potatos but my guests do so I prepared this recipe. Everyone has loved it and has requested it the following year.

This was a hit with our Christmas Dinner. Those who love sweet potatoes -- LOVED IT! I used fresh sweet potatoes - not canned.

Followed this exactly as it was written and it was delicious. My father, who is very finicky, declared this as the best sweet potatoes ever. Even I enjoyed them and I HATE sweet potatoes.

This is an excellent recipe. I was looking for a recipe my biological family use to make when I was a child. This was so close & so yummy. I added some large marshmellows on top & it was perfect, not to sweet. I never would of thought to add the orange juice, great ingredient.

This was the first time I made sweet potatoes. I microwaved them like some of the other reviewers instead of the oven. (turkey was taking up the oven) I never liked sweet potatoes but these were pretty good. I will make again. Not overly sweet- perfect.

I tried this recipe for Thanksgiving, and my family widely agreed the it was less sweet and "more like a vegetable" than our usual fare. This, in spite of the fact, that I covered the sweet potatoes with candied pecans. However, this was universally viewed as a good thing, as you could taste the potatoes and their orange juice compliment, instead of just getting a mouthful of sugar and marshmallow. I will definitely make this again, and I look forward to experimenting with some of the advice other reviewers have offered such as substituting maple syrup for the brown sugar, and adding bits (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon) of cinnamon and nutmeg with the melted butter.

Really enjoyed this recipe. I am not a fan of the marshmallow version of sweet potatoes, and really like them baked with butter, so the addition of the orange juice was a nice variation. As all cooks will do I did tweek it a bit. I added a little fresh grated nutmeg, some cinnamon and just a pinch of cayenne pepper. Also as previous reviewers did, I made the sauce and pour it over the sliced raw potatoes, then baked them in a 350 degree oven for about an hour (basting every 15-20 min). What I like most about these is you don’t have to make them Thanksgiving day, you can make them a couple of days ahead of time, keep covered in the refrigerator and reheat them for 15-20 minutes just before serving.
