Marianne, I love this recipe. I used dried orange peel as that's all I had, but I bet its even better with fresh orange peel. I plan to make it for a potluck tomorrow (11/22) at Kaweah Manor, the convalescent hospital where my patient is recuperating. Love, Mariani

Wow, I made this again, only this time I used freshly grated orange peel--What a difference! Yummy. Definitely a candidate for the Cool Carrot Award. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us!

This wonderful recipe raises the sweet potato to new heights--its absolutely delicious! My only suggestion would be to add a little butter to the topping mixture,so that it will get bubbly. (Adding a bit more brandy doesn't hurt, either!)

I'm gonna try this ecipe. It sounds REALLY yummy! I wonder what using boniato would tastes like. Boniato is drier than sweet potatoes but are MUCH tastier!

Yummy - feels like a guilty pleasure, eating dessert for dinner! I didn't have pralines (since they weren't on the ingredients list - oops!), so I substituted granola for the pralines and it turned out great!

Delicious! My family loved this. I took it to thanksgiving dinner to my extended familys party thing, and the plate was clean. And now I plan on making it a regular for dinners. Thank you so much!

Hey, Alexa! Actually the praline topping is the pecan mixture in the directions part. Praline is a mixture of pecan and sugar and (usually) fresh cream. I know this because I used to work in a chocolate shop!

This came out a bit too orang-y for my taste. I'd suggest less OJ or leaving it out and just going with the zest. I like to taste the sweet potatoes,too...

This recipe is wonderful and has become a Thanksgiving tradition at my house! This year I learned that I can wash the sweet potatoes and put them in the slow cooker the night before so they're cooked and ready to go Thanksgiving morning. Makes it so much easier!
