Add the sweet potatoes and bake, covered with aluminum foil, about 20 minutes. 3. Take out the hot dish from the oven and carefully remove the foil. 4. Add the squash and the cranberries or cherries. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon on top and dribble with the remaining oil. 5. Bake uncovered at 375° for 30-35 minutes, or until well browned. Serve over roast chicken or pot roast. 6.

Note: If your family likes onions, add one, sautéed in the oil until soft, to the sweet potatoes before baking.
