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.

- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you cut the potatoes evenly and prevent them from tearing.
- Toss the potatoes with oil: This will help them brown and crisp up in the oven.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: This will help bring out their natural flavor.
- Add other vegetables: If you like, you can add other vegetables to the foil packets, such as carrots, celery, onions, or bell peppers.
- Seal the foil packets tightly: This will help the potatoes steam and cook evenly.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the potatoes. Check them with a fork to make sure they are done.
