SWEET POTATOES IN ORANGE SAUCE 
4 lbs. sweet potatoes
1 1/4 c. sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt
2 c. orange juice
4 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 tsp. grated orange peel
1 orange, thinly sliced

Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Overlapping slices, arrange in rows in a shallow 3 quart baking dish. Set aside. In a small pan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in orange juice until well blended. Bring mixture to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until thick and clear, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add butter and peel. Pour over sweet potatoes. At this point, you may cover and set aside until ready to bake. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Uncover and baste thoroughly with sauce. Bake, uncovered, 15 to 20 minutes more or until tender and well glazed. Arrange orange slices over top and serve. Serves 10 to 12.
