  • 60 mins

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 6 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 carrots (about 1 pound) peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place the sweet potatoes, carrots, and bouillon cubes in a large heavy pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, reserving 6 tablespoons of the cooking liquid, and place in a bowl.

2. Using a mixer, whip the vegetables with the reserved cooking liquid and the remaining ingredients. Serve immediately, or reheat in a double boiler or, covered, in a 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
