LAYERED SWEET POTATO AND CRANBERRY CASSEROLE

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.
