In this recipe, a splash of Marsala, a spoonful of orange zest, and a sprinkling of rosemary make sweet potatoes chic. For no-hassle entertaining, you can do the roasting up to 3 days ahead. Then, just before serving, remove the skins, mash the pulp, add the other ingredients, and warm in the microwave. It’s ideal for Thanksgiving—much healthier and more sophisticated than that marshmallow thing you see everywhere. We also love it with Grilled Pork Chops with Fresh Peaches and Peach-Thyme Glaze. Tips: Jewel and garnet yams are actually sweet potatoes, and they're perfect for this dish. Also, you don’t have to buy a whole bottle of Marsala because it’s often available in “nips”—tiny bottles sold behind the counter in liquor stores. Two nips will get the job done.
