Never Kiss a Yammy (Citrus Brown Sugar Sweet Potatoes)
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    Scrub the sweet potatoes, pierce them deeply several times with a fork, and set them on the lined cookie sheet.

  3. 3

    Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Let them cool until they are easy to handle, about 15 minutes. Scoop the sweet potato flesh into a large bowl and mash thoroughly. Stir in orange juice, brown sugar, margarine, orange peel, and cinnamon. If you want the sweet potatoes very smooth, mix them with an electric mixer. Spread the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish.

  4. 4

    Microwave on HIGH until heated through, about 5 minutes.
