Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet.

  2. Bake in the preheated oven until a fork can easily puncture a sweet potato, about 1 hour. Remove baking sheet from oven and cool sweet potatoes until easily handled, about 15 minutes.

  3. Remove skins from sweet potatoes and transfer sweet potatoes to a large bowl. Beat potatoes with an electric mixer until smooth. Add brown sugar and butter to sweet potatoes while they are still warm, beat until butter is melted and brown sugar is dissolved.

  4. Mix orange zest, orange juice, ginger, lemon zest, and salt into sweet potatoes, transfer to 9x9-inch baking dish. Heat sweet potatoes in oven if desired.

Recipe Note

A dear friend gave me a similar recipe, which I have tweaked it a little bit. This is a great alternative to the heavy, marshmallowy, and extra-sweet dish that most of us love. The citrus flavor is always a surprise. It has become one of my most requested recipes.
