Easy to prepare, these sweet potatoes are whipped with 100 percent orange juice to make a healthful and tangy side dish for a variety of meat pairings, including our Citrus Flank Steak. This new spin on a traditional recipe will add some zest to a classic side.
Ingredients
1-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, washed, peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup Florida orange juice*
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
*May substitute Florida Orange Juice from Concentrate
Preparation
Place 6 cups water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Turn off heat and drain water. Place saucepan back on burner for 30 more seconds to dry potatoes.
Add remaining ingredients and mash with a potato masher until all ingredients are mixed well. Potatoes will be slightly lumpy. For smoother sweet potatoes, beat with electric mixer on low until smooth.
