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.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Cranberries: Fresh cranberries add a bright, tart flavor to the biscuits. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Grate the Sweet Potatoes: Grating the sweet potatoes helps them to incorporate evenly into the biscuit dough. You can also use mashed sweet potatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- Use Cold Butter: Cold butter helps to create flaky biscuits. Be sure to cut the butter into small pieces before adding it to the flour mixture.
- Don't Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
- Bake the Biscuits Until Golden Brown: The biscuits are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
