- Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4.
- Place the sweet potatoes into a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Gently boil over medium-low heat until tender, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes, peel and mash in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the sweet potatoes until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Beat in margarine, dark brown soft sugar, orange juice, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and egg. Spread the mixture into a 23x33cm or similar sized baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix the crushed matzo, 110g margarine, 4 tablespoons dark brown soft sugar and 1 pinch cinnamon. Spread the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the topping is golden and bubbling, about 30 minutes. If the topping needs more browning, grill until darker, about 3 minutes.

Everyone liked this! I didn't do the topping exactly as written only because I didn't want to add another 1/2 cup of margarine to the dish. But I got many compliments. - 21 Apr 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
