  • Place sweet potato in a saucepan with just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil; cook until fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and mash potatoes with a fork or potato masher.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Divide pie crust into 24 small balls. Press them into the cups of two 12-cup mini muffin pans to make tartlet shells. Set aside.
  • Spoon sweet potato into a blender or food processor. Add evaporated milk, egg whites, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Purée until smooth. Spoon about 1 tablespoon filling into each tart shell.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a tart comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Cool in the pans over a wire rack. Garnish each tart with a cranberry half before serving.
