Method

Combine sweet potatoes, egg, orange peel, brown sugar and salt. Form into 12 balls by rolling heaping tablespoonfuls of the mixture in the nuts. Place on greased baking sheet. Make a large thumbprint in each ball to form a nest. Dribble with butter.
Bake in hot oven (425°) 20 minutes, or until brown. Place a spoonful of cranberry sauce in center of each.
