SWEET POTATO CRANBERRY BAKE
My father's mother made this every year for our Thanksgiving dinner. It is not Thanksgiving to me without this dish. I do not like the tartness of most cranberry dishes, and sweet potatoes can be bland by themselves. This dish combines both to make a great all-in-one dish. When I take this dish to another person's home, I bake the first time and add the yams, cover, and then wait to heat until I am at their house.

LAYERED SWEET POTATO AND CRANBERRY CASSEROLE
I tried this casserole for Thanksgiving and was very pleased with it. It is lighter than the traditional sweet potato casserole and fresher tasting, too. It is an easy casserole to put together but it does take a bit of time to layer the sweet potato slices. However, it is worth it because the end result is very attractive. Usually I follow a recipe exactly the first time I am making it. But in this case, I have to admit to increasing the amounts of brown sugar and cranberries used in the layering. I upped the brown sugar to about 2/3 cup and the cranberries to 1-1/2 cups easily -- maybe a little more. Didn't hurt the casserole a bit! The time for baking or boiling the potatoes is not figured into the timing because it can be done a day or two ahead of time.

Steps:
- Bake the potatoes in a 350 degree F. oven for about an hour or until tender. I actually baked 5 potatoes and found I needed the extra one for the casserole. You may also boil the potatoes, but I find baking them gives a sweeter taste; also, they peel easier. Drain potatoes if they were boiled. In either case let the potatoes cool enough to handle and peel the potatoes. You can do this step a day or two ahead of time. Place potatoes in a covered container and refrigerate.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the potatoes in 1/4-inch slices. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and layer the slices in the dish, overlapping them slightly. You'll have 3 or 4 vertical rows depending on how "fat" your potatoes are.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with half the brown sugar; dot with 1-1/2 teaspoons butter. Top with 1/2 of the cranberries. Repeat layers, using remaining brown sugar and cranberries. Pour orange juice over the top of the casserole.
- Cover casserole and bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- Combine the walnuts, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and cinnamon; stir well. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole and return to the oven. Bake, uncovered, an additional 10 minutes.

- Don't peel the sweet potatoes: The skin is packed with nutrients and helps the potatoes hold their shape while baking.
- Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork: This helps them cook evenly and prevents them from bursting.
- Use a variety of cranberries: Fresh, frozen, or dried cranberries can all be used in this recipe. If using dried cranberries, be sure to soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before using.
- Add some spices: A blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger adds a warm, festive flavor to the dish.
- Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: They should be tender but still hold their shape.
Conclusion:
This colorful cranberry sweet potato bake is a delicious and festive side dish that is perfect for any holiday meal. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts and hostesses. The sweet potatoes are roasted until tender and then topped with a tangy cranberry sauce.
