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.

So easy and so delicious. I baked some of the potatoes (then removed the skin) and boiled some. I think next time I'll boil all. Boiling was easier (I left the skin on)and they tasted just as good.

These came out different than I expected - the sweet potatoes became a bit of mush, rather than staying in chunks, but the flavor was very good.

I liked these sweet potatoes, but my family didn't care for them. I don't think that they were sweet enough for them.

Yams were very good. I added cinnamon and vanilla extract to the recipe. Next time I will reduce or cut out the orange juice. I found the juice to be a bit overpowering.

I love this recipe. My friends and family request I bring this every year for Thanksgiving. It's great because it's easy and you don't need the oven for it. The only thing I change in the recipe is less orange juice. I use about half as much OJ, which seems to be just enough for that extra tang but not enough for it to become overwhelmed.

This recipe was a hit with my family on Thanksgiving. I was searching for a candied yam/sweet potato recipe w/o the marshmellows and easy to make. This one fit the bill.
