4 cups (1 L)

Ingredients

  • 4 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp orange marmalade
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp brandy , optional
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • chopped fresh Italian parsley , can substitute rosemary sprigs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Prick unpeeled sweet potatoes and place on a baking sheet. Bake until very tender, 45 min to 11/4 hours, depending on their size.
  • When cool enough to handle, slice potatoes in half and scoop out flesh. For a smooth texture, place flesh in food processor with marmalade, butter, brandy and salt. Pulse, occasionally scraping down sides with a spatula, until no large lumps remain. Or for a coarser texture, mash using a potato masher or fork.
  • If making ahead, turn into a large microwave-safe dish. Mixture will keep well, covered and refrigerated, up to 2 days. Reheat in microwave on high for 4 to 6 min, stirring occasionally. Or heat in a covered casserole dish in the oven at 350F (180C). Stir often. Serve with a generous sprinkle of parsley or a few sprigs of rosemary as garnish.
