Tips and Warnings

  • Make this ahead of time: We suggest storing the sweet potatoes and cranberry maple sauce separately in the refrigerator. Allow the potatoes to come to room temperature and then continue on to step 7.
  • Speed up the cooking time of the sweet potatoes: We also tested this recipe by slicing the sweet potatoes BEFORE boiling and it definitely sped things up a bit. Make sure to use a super sharp knife and then watch your sweet potatoes until they become fork tender.
