Let's Get Cooking

1. Prepare Potatoes

Boil fresh sweet potatoes until tender, then peel and chop or smash the softened potatoes.

Combine potatoes with butter, brown sugar, OJ concentrate, zest, vanilla and cinnamon in a large bowl.

Use a hand mixer on low speed or immersion blender to combine until creamy. Or use a potato masher and a little elbow grease!

2. Make Topping

Melt butter and brown sugar along with cinnamon in a small pan.

Once sugar has dissolved (just 2-3 mins) add the half and half and pecans.

Stir and simmer for a minute, then remove from heat. Add a pinch of salt.

Pour caramel pecan mixture over the smashed sweet potato mixture in a baking pan.

Bake until hot and bubbly. Let the dish rest for at least 10 mins before serving.
