Preparation

Step 1

Scrub potatoes with a brush under cold running water. Place in a pot of boiling water. Boil potatoes until a fork will just stick in them. Remove from heat. Cool in tap water. Peel potatoes and discard peelings.

Combine sugars (2), flour, cinnamon, nutmeg. Add these to potatoes and mash with a potato masher.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray or lightly butter a large baking dish.

Add melted butter to hot potatoes. Combine well. Add eggs one at a time, beating in after each addition. Add cream, orange juice, orange zest/grated rind (optional) and vanilla mixing with a beater until mixture is smooth. Bake in preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and add topping.

Topping: Combine dark brown sugar with pecans. Crumble on top of potatoes. Drizzle with remaining butter, melted. Cook until mixture comes clean with a tooth pick.
