TENNESSEE WHISKEY SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
Sweet potato casserole flavored with Tennessee whiskey, brown sugar, and topped with candied pecans. A rich and comforting take on a classic holiday dish that has been in my family for years. We've had it at Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. For best results make sure potatoes are drained of as much water as possible.

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.

LAYERED SWEET POTATO AND CRANBERRY CASSEROLE
I tried this casserole for Thanksgiving and was very pleased with it. It is lighter than the traditional sweet potato casserole and fresher tasting, too. It is an easy casserole to put together but it does take a bit of time to layer the sweet potato slices. However, it is worth it because the end result is very attractive. Usually I follow a recipe exactly the first time I am making it. But in this case, I have to admit to increasing the amounts of brown sugar and cranberries used in the layering. I upped the brown sugar to about 2/3 cup and the cranberries to 1-1/2 cups easily -- maybe a little more. Didn't hurt the casserole a bit! The time for baking or boiling the potatoes is not figured into the timing because it can be done a day or two ahead of time.

Steps:
- Bake the potatoes in a 350 degree F. oven for about an hour or until tender. I actually baked 5 potatoes and found I needed the extra one for the casserole. You may also boil the potatoes, but I find baking them gives a sweeter taste; also, they peel easier. Drain potatoes if they were boiled. In either case let the potatoes cool enough to handle and peel the potatoes. You can do this step a day or two ahead of time. Place potatoes in a covered container and refrigerate.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the potatoes in 1/4-inch slices. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and layer the slices in the dish, overlapping them slightly. You'll have 3 or 4 vertical rows depending on how "fat" your potatoes are.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with half the brown sugar; dot with 1-1/2 teaspoons butter. Top with 1/2 of the cranberries. Repeat layers, using remaining brown sugar and cranberries. Pour orange juice over the top of the casserole.
- Cover casserole and bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- Combine the walnuts, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and cinnamon; stir well. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the casserole and return to the oven. Bake, uncovered, an additional 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Put sweet potatoes in a large saucepan.

- Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until tender.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Freshly grated sweet potatoes and tart, tangy fresh or frozen unsweetened (or lightly sweetened) cranberry sauce yield the best results.
- Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be cooked until tender but not mushy. You can test them by piercing them with a fork - they should give easily.
- Drain the sweet potatoes well. This will help to prevent the casserole from being watery.
- Use a generous amount of butter. Butter adds richness and flavor to the casserole. You can also use a combination of butter and olive oil, if desired.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Ground nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice are all classic choices, but you could also try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or ginger for a little kick.
- Serve the casserole warm, but not piping hot. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato casserole is a classic holiday dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors, it's a perfect side dish for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy recipe, give this one a try.
Bonus Tip: You can make this casserole ahead of time. Simply prepare the casserole as directed, then cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through.
