Really good. My husband doesn't eat sweet potatoes and he liked it. My changes were to use 4 1/2 cups of potatoes, omit the white sugar entirely (sweet potatoes are already sweet) and use 1 1/2 T. of butter in the potato mixture instead of 3. I kept the topping as in the recipe. It's a flexible recipe. You could eat this for dessert.

This was amazing! Everyone thought it was a hit! The hint of orange is what I think makes it so great. I only used 1/4 of the white sugar it called for and everyone said it would have been too sweet if I had used the amount of sugar the recipe calls for. Try using 1/8 cup of sugar instead of the stated 1/2 cup and see what you think.

I made this receipe for my boyfriend and his mother and father.....What raves I got about it. I baked the potatoes in the oven at 400 for an hour and then followed the receipe. I only add a little more cinnamon. This an absolutely great receipe for any time of the year.

Yummy and sweet, but sweet potatoes don't need this much sugar! I decreased the amount, but I felt it was still too sweet. Next time I'll only add 1/4 cup of brown sugar, if even that. Otherwise it was good!

If you are a sweet potatoe eater, you have to try this. Cut the sugar in half. It was delish. Great dish to take for potluck. YUMMY!!

Awesome! I made it without the nuts, as my husband is allergic, and was worried that it would negatively affect the taste, but it was fantastic!

I made this for holiday and wasn't impressed. No one really ate it. I will stick to traditional candy sweet potatos next year.

Awesome. Easy. MMMMMmmmm. I'm no chef at all and this was sooo good. My husband said it was like something his grandma would have made. Big hit.

Family members who said they didn't like sweet potatoes were surprised it was so good. I didn't have nutmeg so I substitutes pumpkin pie spice for the nutmeg and cinnamon. It was delicious!
