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.

Steps:
- Make the Basic Dinner-Roll Dough, using the cranberries, lemon zest and nutmeg as the mix-ins. Let rise as directed.
- Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly flour the top of the dough and pat into a rectangle. Cut the dough into 24 equal pieces with a bench scraper or chef's knife. Roll each piece into a 7- to 8-inch-long rope. Tie each rope into a knot. Arrange on the prepared baking sheets. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let stand until puffy, about 45 minutes.
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Brush the knots with the beaten egg. Bake, switching and rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the rolls are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Warm the milk and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan or in the microwave until very warm (110 degrees F). Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook; mix in the sugar, yeast and 1 cup flour until combined but still lumpy. Let stand until the mixture is very bubbly, about 30 minutes.
- Add the butter, salt and 2 cups flour; mix on medium speed until smooth and elastic, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the eggs until combined, scraping the bottom and side of the bowl as needed. Add 1 1/4 cups flour and the mix-ins, if using; mix until the dough is smooth and starts to gather into a loose ball, about 4 minutes. The dough should be slightly sticky; if it's too wet, add the remaining 1/4 cup flour.
- Lightly oil a large bowl; scrape the dough into the bowl and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.

SWEET POTATOES WITH CRANBERRY CHUTNEY
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.

- Cover and cook on HIGH while preparing potatoes.
- Stir potatoes, and dried cranberries into warm mixture, cover and cook on HIGH for 3 - 4 hours.
- SHORTCUT TIP: Replace potatoes with drained canned sweet potatoes. Reduce cooking temperature to Medium.
Tips:
- To make the perfect sweet potato cranberry knots, it's important to use the right potatoes. Choose firm, evenly shaped sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure they cook evenly.
- When boiling the potatoes, add a generous amount of salt to the water. This will help to draw out the excess moisture from the potatoes and make them more flavorful.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, be sure to drain them well and allow them to cool slightly before handling them. This will prevent them from falling apart.
- When mixing the dough, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- When shaping the knots, be sure to tuck the ends under to prevent them from coming undone during baking.
- Bake the knots at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior.
- Serve the knots warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato cranberry knots are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them sweet or savory, these knots are sure to please everyone at your table.
