2 lbs medium sweet potatoes
1 (16 ounce) can whole cranberry sauce
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup flour
2/3 cup packed lilght brown sugar
2/3 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup miniature marshmallow

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries will give the casserole a brighter, more tart flavor than dried cranberries.

  • Use a combination of spices: The spices in this recipe (cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger) all complement the sweet potatoes and cranberries perfectly.
