This was a really good recipe. I used fresh potatoes instead of canned for a change and it turned out great. I brought it to Thanksgiving last year for my in-laws and my mother-in-law just informed me that I'm bringing it again. Even the people who said they didn't like sweet potatoes tried it and liked it.

I used real potatoes instead of canned ones. Although this recipe was good it tasted more like a desert to us than a potato side dish. It was very sweet! Read More

I made these for Thanksgiving to take to a family member's house. Three other people ended up taking their own and mine was the BEST one! I drained the potatoes and added a little of the liquid after baking before broiling. I didn't sprinkle them with marshmallows but covered the entire top (I'm still a kid and love sweets). Everyone was asking what I did differently why was theirs all mushy and mine PERFECT! I was asked to make them for Christmas. This is the perfect and quick way to make Sweet Potato Casserole. I made this on Thanksgiving day before going to the party it is that quick! Read More

I selected this recipe because I needed to make sweet potatoes for the "Fall Feast" at our daycare on a Tuesday at 6:30. I chose it specifically because the potatoes were canned and there were no nuts (day care). I DID drain the potatoes and I think it's absolutely necessary since you add orange juice. The texture was pleasing (not all whipped up and soufle-like) and the kids AND adults enjoyed it. Very sweet (they ARE sweet potatoes) and I think I might decrease the marshmallows next time. Really really worked out well. Read More

Taste just like Grandma use to make! I made this lastnight with a pork roast and green beans turned out so good. I used fresh sweet potatos baked them for 45 on 350 peeled the skin then diced. I did everything else the same. My whole family loved it including my six year old son who hates everything!! Read More

These are good enough to pass for a dessert. I too was unsure if I should drain the yams but I did. Good choice otherwise it likely would have been soupy. The OJ is a such a nice touch - I lightly mashed the yams and let them marinate a half hour to better absorb the flavor if you're concerned about presentation just lightly score the yams. Next time I may try apricot nectar. Read More

My husband loved these and he doesn't even like sweet potatoes! I used 1/2 sugar and 1/2 brown sugar. Read More

EXCELLENT!! I did it as directed, but used 1/4 brown and 1/4 white sugar, and used butter not margarine. Then on top of that I sprinkled toasted chopped pecans that I toasted on top of the stove, in a few TBS butter and 2 TBS of brown sugar to carmalize it. Baked it for 30-40 min and then added the marshmallows. Read More

These were very good. The only thing that I might change next time is cut the butter in half. There seemed to be quite a bit of it laying in the bottom of my casserole dish. Other than that...perfect!!! Read More

Wasn't sure if the sweet potatoes had to be drained but I included the liquid. It was different and good. I probably would try again. Read More
