Orange Cup Sweet Potatoes

Orange Cup Sweet Potatoes add a bright citrus to your sweet potatoes and a beautiful fall color to your holiday table. They’re perfect to make for two or a crowd.

I don’t want to be the first to tell you, but the holidays are right around the corner, like in two weeks right around the corner! It hasn’t sunk in yet because I haven’t entered the panic mode yet. I think it’s more like I’m in denial. Just thinking about these Orange Cup Sweet Potatoes gets me in the mood.

I always host my husbands’ family for Thanksgiving. The family is growing, and the dynamics have changed. Our children are having children. That is what holidays are about. Enjoying family and appreciating family members while you can.

My mother-in-law used to host most of the holidays but has passed the culinary torch to me and my sister-in-law. She gave me this cookbook recently. This cookbook was produced as a fundraiser and is a compilation of recipes by the best professional and at-home cooks in Omaha. That’s what it claims anyway. There are several recipes that I will be trying![Tweet “Orange Cup Sweet Potatoes are perfect for two or a crowd! #holiday #recipe”]

I recently made this “Orange Cup Sweet Potato” recipe. It was delicious and the oranges provided a nice bright sweetness to the sweet potatoes. There isn’t anything difficult about this recipe and would be perfect for a smaller Thanksgiving gathering.

Keyword: Orange Cup Sweet Potatoes

Servings: 6

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 3 navel oranges halved

• 2 cans sweet potatoes drained (15 oz each)

• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed

• 2 cups miniature marshmallows

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  
• Working over a bowl, remove all pulp, membrane and juice from each orange using a grapefruit knife. Discard membrane. Arrange the orange cups in a cupcake pan or a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, mash sweet potatoes and add cream, salt, and brown sugar. Stir to combine. Stir in reserved orange pulp and juices and blend well.
• Fill orange cups with mixture, and top with marshmallows pressed into the potatoes.
• Bake for 20 minutes until heated through and browned.


Notes

I had leftover filling. You could easily put this filling in a casserole dish and bake it without using the orange cups. You could also add chopped pecans to the top.
