Karen,

Thanks for letting me know. I actually found the fresh ones to be a little too tart. I think dried would be perfect in this dish! And yes, I’d have to agree, sweet it good!

Johanna,

I also loved the look of this dish. And those are the real colors! Well, I think I’ll defer to Karen (who originally posted the dish) for both of your other points–dried cranberries, it seems, are the preferred choice. And as to the salad/hash, I, too, think of this as a salad, but I guess warming it in the frypan qualifies it as hash. So hot, I’ll go with Karen and call it a hash; but cold or room temp, I’d say salad!

This looks so beautiful and colourful I want to make it now (except I have had dinner already)! Seems very autumnal sort of dish – I would probably have to use dried cranberries as I never see them fresh in these parts – but will be putting it on to do list.

By the way I was surprised you say salad or hash – I thought these were quite different – I thought hash was mushy vegies fried up. But now I think it is like the biscuit/scone terminology???

Ricki,
I used dried cranberries. I bet the fresh ones taste fantastic, too. Just so you know, I have not been able to find unsweetened dried cranberries anywhere, so if you have the same problem just be aware that dried cranberries will make this dish even sweeter. Which is never a bad thing

Have a great night.
Karen

Sally,

Just goes to show how unreliable Google is–I did a search for sweet potato dishes and didn’t see yours! Thanks for mentioning it–I will definitely give it a try and let you know how it turns out.

Karen,

Thanks for providing the recipe and great write-up. I plan to do it again with the onions, as I think they would give it a certain “zing” that was lacking in mine. Do you use dried or fresh cranberries in yours?

Hi Ricki!
I’m so excited that you tried this dish!! Thanks for the kind words about my blog, too. I can’t wait for you to try this again with the green onions. It definitely adds something very unique. Your picture of it looks really gorgeous. I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
Best,
Karen

Have you made the sweet potato salad recipe on my blog? I ate leftovers from it at lunch the other day. Sooo good–warm, room temp, cold. Good any way you have it, and vegan.

Anyway, I love sweet potatoes, cranberries, and green onions, so I think I’m going to have to try this out!
