- 3 big sweet potatoes, peeled
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 1 peeled orange
- Juice of 1 orange
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup water
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Peel your 3 big sweet potatoes and slice them into thin rings.
- Don’t worry if they’re uneven!
- Grab a medium to large pot and add the sweet potatoes, 2 tablespoons of butter, juice of 1 orange, the peeled orange itself, 3 cinnamon sticks, ½ cup sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water.
- Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Let it cook until the sweet potatoes are soft enough to mash, usually about 25–30 minutes.
- Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through, use a fork to mash them into chunky pieces. Don’t overdo it; you need some texture.
- Taste and tweak with a little extra sugar or salt if needed.
- Serve warm and enjoy the cozy, citrusy sweetness.
