Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Roast the sweet potatoes on the oven rack for 45 minutes to an hour, until they're quite soft.
Set aside until they're cool enough to handle.

When the potatoes have cooled slightly, scoop the flesh out of the skin, add the orange juice, nutmeg, saffron, and salt, and gently mash so the potatoes are nearly smooth but not gluey. Taste for citrus flavor and salt, then warm in the microwave or on the stovetop if they've cooled and serve hot
