Step 1

Preheat oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit  (190 Celsius).

Step 2

Peel and cut the potatoes in pieces (as noted above).

Step 3

In a large bowl mix the sweet potatoes with the olive oil, salt and pepper (I usually mix with my hands).

Step 4

Spread the potatoes in one layer in a pan. Add a small clove of garlic cut in half.

Step 5

Pour the orange juice in one corner and tilt the pan so it goes everywhere.

Step 6

Add 3-4 tablespoons of boiling water again in the corner and tilt the pan. Do not just pour the water or juice over the potatoes, that will rinse off the oil.

Step 7

Roast for about 20 minutes and then lower the temperature to about 320 Fahrenheit (160 Celsius) and roast for another 30-40 minutes.
