Preheat oven to 375°F.
Scrub potato and poke several times with a knife or fork. If desired, place on a plate in the microwave for about 5 - 10 minutes to get a head start on the cooking process.
1 large sweet potato
Bake sweet potato in oven for about 1 hour (if you pre-cooked in the microwave, this may be as little as 30 minutes), or until very soft when pierced with a knife.
When sweet potato is cool enough to handle, carefully cut the skin and peel it off, scraping the insides into a large mixing bowl.
Using a stand fitted with a paddle attachment (or a handheld mixer or potato masher), combine the cooked sweet potato with the orange juice, cream or milk, butter, brown sugar, spices, and salt/pepper. Mix to desired consistency.
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon orange juice, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon heavy cream or milk, 2 teaspoon unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons light brown sugar, dash of ground nutmeg, dash of ground cinnamon, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper
Transfer potatoes to a small baking dish and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until heated through.
