Although I am not a real big fan of sweet potatoes, I must say these were very tasty. I've never used orange juice before and it add a nice tangy sweetness along with the brown sugar. I like them mashed with the butter and brown sugar and orange juice. Thank you for this great recipe, it is a keeper for sure. On another note, you wil notice I am not great at taking pix that do justice but this shws a pat of butter with brown sugar and the juice poured over it for photo purposes.
