Personally, I thought this was one of the easiest recipes and it is the most delicious I have ever had!!!!! I did have a guest tell me it was too sweet and another tell me it would be a great dessert. But, I do have a huge sweet tooth and it was just perfect in my opinion! I have to add that I used the fresh squeezed oj from when I was hollowing out the oranges; very tasty!!!

These sweet potato's are so good! My husband who is not the biggest fan of even candy sweet potato's loved them. I followed the recipe to a T the fist time I made them and they were so good, but towards the end my husband and I felt like it was a little to much because of all the butter and sugar that is put in them. Because you put brown sugar on the top I reduced the amount of white sugar that is put in the potato's to at least 1/2 a cup. If you want it less sweet put only 1/4 cup in with the potato's. Also if you want you can reduce the butter down to 3/4 cup as well. That makes them a little less fating but still really good.

i made these for a holiday meal, and my family -- most of whom don't like sweet potatoes -- couldn't get enough of them. now i find myself craving them...

Very pretty and tasty as well. A little on the sweet side.

awesome! everyone loved them.

I had left over potatoes so I cooked them in a casserole dish around the oranges that we stuffed with the potatoes. They ended up having the same orange flavor. I will be using this recipes again.

These have been so much fun to prepare - I haven't tasted them yet, but the process has been fantastic. I had great luck using my grapefruit knife and serrated-edged spoon to prepare the orange shells. Plus, this side dish is worth it visually. What a beautiful addition to our Seder table!

Everyone at Easter dinner loved this, but we made a few changes. We only used about 3/4 the recommended sugar and half the butter and left the topping off completely and it still came out very, very sweet. Definitely more of a dessert than a side dish. Next time I'll probably only use 1/4 of the recommended sugar, stick with 1/2 the recommended butter, and use a tiny bit of brown sugar for topping. I also took another reviewer's suggestion and cut the oranges completely in half, cut the pulp from the rind, and then scooped, which was really easy.

I really enjoyed this recipe! I cut big navel oranges in half...easy to pull out the flesh...I cut back on the sugar to 1/3 c and next time I will cut back a little more. Also found the sugar topping too much, to over the top sweet plus a waste of 1 cup of pricey pecans. Next time I will sprinkle a little brn sugar on top and place pecan halves or sprinkle chopped pecans on top. They present beautifully and I am making this again for Easter Dinner.

I loved this idea for a fancy side dish. It was time-consuming and messy to prepare and I think people at the party were afraid to try them! They tasted good, but I don't think the orange peel really added much flavor. And leftover, the peel started to disintegrate and made the potatoes bitter! Fun idea, but not worth it. Next time I'll just make the "Sweet Potato Classic" casserole. It's delicious!

Tried this for Christmas Day and it was a hit. I really think this is my mom's favorite now.

Made this last Christmas gathering at my fiance's family .. everyone went for seconds ! .... I added less sugar than what it called for just like the others suggested ... just make sure you don't over fill ... the oranges tends to shrink

It was alright. Kinda sweet as has been said. Presents very well.

i made these for xmas and was held to be a gourmet! lol! everyone loved how pretty they were and when they tasted them, i received applause! i put chopped walnuts on top mine. will use again!

This recipe is so delicious! It was the hit of my christmas party! It's even great the next day!

I brought these for Christmas dinner, and everyone loved them!

Excellent recipe. The orange and vanilla compliment the sweet potato perfectly. Cut down the sugar to about a third to begin with and add more to taste. While eating if you scrape the sides of the orange their is a very mild bitterness which balances perfectly with the sweet filling. This is only time consuming if you are making a large amount. From preparation to finish I was finished in just under an hour. Cut the oranges in half and use the juice from inside. Squeeze them a little and the inside should come out easier.
