This holiday season, we’re diving into some deep-dished debates that have divided dinner tables for as long as we can remember. Turkey or ham? Apple or pumpkin pie? Eggnog or punch? You be the judge! Each week, we’ll present two dishes – with fun facts and recipes – and let you choose which one will win a place at your holiday table.

2 lbs. sweet potatoes 2 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp brown sugar 1/2 tsp salt 3 navel oranges 2 cups mini marshmallows Preheat oven to 400°F. Pierce sweet potatoes several times with a fork or knife. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake 1 hour. Let cool several minutes, cut in half and scoop out insides into a large bowl. Mash with butter, brown sugar, evaporated milk and salt until creamy. Cut oranges in half and slice a very thin disk from bottoms so they rest flat. Preheat oven to 350°F. Using a paring knife, cut around the inside rim of the orange, removing the orange sections and pulp. Discard juice, pulp and seeds, leaving just the hollowed-out peel. Fill each orange cup with 1⁄4 cup of sweet potato mixture and top with mini marshmallows. Place on a sheet tray and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until marshmallows are slightly browned.
A sweet potato isn’t actually a potato? Sweet potatoes belong to the morning glory family (also known as the convolvulaceae family) and are actually tuberous root vegetables. Sweet potatoes are in season year-round and are rich in nutrients such as vitamin A, E, B6 and C, betacarotene, manganese and potassium.
DON’T CALL ME Sweet potatoes are not yams. Yams are an edible root of the Dioscorea genus, and are generally imported to America from the Caribbean.
