SWEET POTATO CRANBERRY BAKE



Sweet Potato Cranberry Bake image

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.

SWEET POTATOES WITH CRANBERRY CHUTNEY



Sweet Potatoes With Cranberry Chutney image

This is an easy and surprisingly delicious way to get a dramatic-looking sweet-potato dish on the table with little fuss. The heat of the jalapeños in the chutney, mixed with aromatic vegetables and the sweetness of the dried fruit, gives the cranberries depth. A dollop of sour cream goes on the halved sweet potato, followed by a generous spoonful of chutney. Make the chutney up to two weeks ahead and keep it in the refrigerator. It also freezes well. Assembly on Thanksgiving is an easy last-minute task.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth sweet potatoes with no blemishes or bruises. Avoid any potatoes that are soft or have cracks in the skin.
  • Pierce the potatoes before baking: This will help the steam to escape and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be soft enough to easily pierce with a fork.
  • Scoop out the potato flesh: Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh of the potatoes, leaving a thin shell.
  • Mash the potato flesh: Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potato flesh until it is smooth.
  • Add the cranberries, butter, and maple syrup: Stir the cranberries, butter, and maple syrup into the mashed potatoes until well combined.
  • Top with pecans and brown sugar: Sprinkle the pecans and brown sugar over the top of the potatoes.
  • Bake until the topping is golden brown: Bake the potatoes for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Cranberry-kissed sweet potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet potatoes, cranberries, butter, maple syrup, pecans, and brown sugar creates a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
