I'm not usually a fan of sweet potatoes, but these cups were amazing! The orange filling was the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

These cups were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more spices to the filling.

I had a hard time finding oranges that were ripe enough, so the filling didn't turn out as flavorful as I would have liked. But the sweet potato cups themselves were still delicious.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this recipe, but I was pleasantly surprised! The sweet potato cups were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The orange filling was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
