Spicy Orange & Rum Laced Sweet Potatoes image

We really enjoy the flavor of sweet potatoes mixed with spices and oranges. It makes that old potato taste special and new. These robust potatoes do not disappoint. They are great served with pork or chicken. If so inclined, the potatoes looks great in its orange bowl, very festive.
