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:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan, with nonstick cooking spray.
- Peel all the potatoes, with a potato peeler, then slice them into thin rounds. These should be less than 1/4 inch wide.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, honey, and olive oil. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Lay out your potato slices on the bottom of the pan. Make sure you only do one layer of the sweet potatoes.
- For the second layer of the sweet potatoes, add your Craisins and your chopped pecans. I used about 1/2 cup of Craisins and 1/3 cup of pecans for the first layer.
- Drizzle about 3 Tablespoons of the brown sugar liquid over the first layer, of the bake.
- Repeat this process until there are no more sweet potatoes left. If you have extra Craisins and pecans left over, place them on top.
- Pour the remaining brown sugar drizzle, on top.
- Spray the top layer, with a little extra non-stick cooking spray.
- Place in oven and allow it to cook for about 35 - 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven and enjoy warm.

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.

Tips:
- To save time, use a food processor to grate the sweet potatoes.
- If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries.
- Be sure to rinse the cranberries well before using them.
- You can add a little bit of orange zest to the cranberry sauce for extra flavor.
- If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
- Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the sweet potato casserole.
- The casserole is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
This cranberry sweet potato bake is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. The sweet potatoes are creamy and flavorful, and the cranberry sauce is tart and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
