YUM!! I'm not sure that I used quite 2 pounds of potatoes and I skipped the onions, but I did everything else to the measurements specified. I used fresh squeezed orange juice too. The sauce was absolutely incredible, and we'll be making this often -- thank you for posting it!!

This was delicious. I made this to take to my Son's for our Thanksgiving dinner. So I prepared it the day before. It was perfect the day of, after heating it in the microwave. Easy! We all enjoyed it. I really liked the combination of the orange and sweet potato. Made for Every Day Is A Holiday Tag Game.
