Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons softened butter
• 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 0.25 cup brandy
• 4 (1 pound) sweet potatoes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour brandy over raisins in a small bowl, cover, and allow to stand for 2 hours.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart baking dish with the softened butter.

Step 3

Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, and bake in preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool until cool enough to handle, then peel the potatoes and slice them 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the potato slices in the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with sugar and brandy-soaked raisins.

Step 4

Return the sweet potatoes to the oven, and bake 30 to 40 minutes until hot and bubbly.
