To maximize the richness and intensity of his sweet potato mash, Alex Guarnaschelli makes it with baked sweet potatoes. After baking, the flesh is easily mashed with a spoon or whisk. Alex toasts the mashed potatoes again in the oven to concentrate the flavor, and then seasons them with cream and a mixture of dark butter, orange juice, molasses, and dry sherry for a stunning holiday garnish.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and place them in the center of the oven. Bake until the center is completely tender when pierced with a knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the potatoes. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and reduce the temperature to 190°C (350°F).
  2. Place the sweet potato on a flat surface and use a sharp knife to cut it in half lengthwise. Use a tablespoon to scoop out the flesh from the skin.

  3. Transfer the pulp to a medium oven-safe dish. Stir gently to create a chunky puree and place in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then stir the pulp again. Bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  4. Heat the cream in a small saucepan. Transfer the sweet potato flesh to a medium bowl and combine with 1 tablespoon of butter and the cream. Season with salt to taste.
  5. Creamy sauce:

    Heat a frying pan and add the remaining 110g of butter. Heat until melted and light brown. Transfer to a bowl to prevent browning. Add orange juice, orange zest, sherry, and molasses. Taste. Serve immediately with sweet potatoes.
