Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until tender when pierced with a knife, about an hour.
Step 2
Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
Step 3
Lower the oven temperature to 350°F and butter a 9 x 9-inch baking dish (see notes below).
Step 4
Scoop the flesh of the sweet potatoes into a large bowl and discard the skins. Add the butter and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
Step 5
Add the orange juice and zest, half-and-half, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.
Step 6
Beat to combine, then taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 7
Add the eggs and beat on medium-high speed until the mixture light and fluffy, 1-1/2 to 2 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the sweet potato mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Cover and bake until puffed and slightly golden, about 25 to 35 minutes.
