Citrus Sweet Potatoes image

A mild orange glaze lets the taste of sweet potatoes shine through in this nut-topped side dish. When I was dating my husband, my mother would make this whenever he'd come over for Sunday dinner. We've been married more than 40 years, and he thinks I can make it almost as well as Mom did. -Pauline Kelley, St. Peters, Missouri

I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The citrus and spices gave them a really nice flavor.

These citrus-sweet potatoes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less orange juice and more spices.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but these were actually really good. The citrus and spices gave them a nice flavor and the potatoes were perfectly roasted.

These citrus-sweet potatoes were a bit of a disappointment. The potatoes were dry and the flavor was bland. I think I'll stick to my old roasted potato recipe.
