Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Scrub and clean the sweet potatoes. Prick them all over with a fork and place them in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake them for 45 minutes or until they are fork tender. Allow the potatoes to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, bring the half & half (or cream) and bay leaves to a simmer on low heat. Simmer the milk for 5 minutes, do not boil or scald. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
- Cut each sweet potato in half and remove the meat. It should easily peel away from the skins. Place the meat into a large food processor. Add the half & half mixture, orange juice, brown sugar and Kosher salt to the blender and puree until it is smooth and lightens in color.
- Serve the potatoes immediately. Garnish or serve them with traditional mashed potato toppings like sour cream, butter, salt and pepper or scallions.
