Roasted Orange Molasses Sweet Potatoes

No southern holiday meal would be complete without sweet potatoes, and this simple twist on old-fashioned candied yams, with the addition of molasses and an orange's juice and zest, tastes bright and full of nuance.

Cooks' note:

Potatoes can be baked 2 hours ahead and kept in pan, chilled, covered with foil. Uncover and reheat in a 325°F oven while ham stands.
