Answers: Can anyone tell me how to make a great sweat potato?

Yes there are recipes that have sweet potatos and OJ!!!!

If you are cutting calories, serve a plain sweet potato, cut down on margarine or butter by using unsweetened orange juice.

Or here is an actual recipe that calls for Orange Juice with Sweet Potatos

Sweet Potatos and Apples
* 3 medium apples
* 1/4 cup orange juice or fresh lemon juice
* 6 medium cooked sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced in 1/4 to 1/2-inch slices
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
* 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
