Healthy Sweet Potato Mash For Thanksgiving

November is upon us and that means it's Thanksgiving time.  It's a time when we gather together with family and friends to give thanks for the blessing of the harvest and upcoming new year. It also means a lot of food that is being cooked with unwanted fats.  One dish that is typical served and is made very unhealthy is the traditional mashed potato. So I created a side dish that is yummy, healthy and easy to make.  I combine the sweetness of the sweet potato and the tartiness of cranberries to make a side dish that is satisfying and healthy at the same time.
