The sweet and savory brisket is a great compliment to the zesty potatoes in this recipe. The rich color of the meat makes it an elegant holiday option.—Rachelle Schaefer, Studio City, California

Ingredients

1 fresh beef brisket (3 to 4 pounds)

The only Briskit I had ever eaten was smoked and slightly tough. We tried out this recipe for Easter 2010 and it was a hit! The meat was so tender it fell apart. The flavor from the cranberry was slightly sweet, the onion soup mix kept it from being too sweet, and the horseradish mashed potatoes were the perfect pairing Our guests thought they were eating something really fancy. The briskit went over so well, we repeated it at Thanksgiving 2010. A winner!
