Do not turn off oven. Cool potatoes until easy to handle.
2. When potatoes are cool, cut in half lengthwise. With spoon, scoop out pulp from 8 potato halves into large bowl and discard skins.
Scoop out pulp from remaining 8 potato halves, leaving ¼ inch potato intact on skin to make shells. Place pulp in same large bowl; return potato shells to same baking sheet.
3. With electric mixer, beat potato pulp, orange juice, 2 T butter, the cinnamon, and salt until smooth. Place potato mixture into large pastry bag fitted with star tip; pipe into potato shells, spiraling mixture above shell line.
