Brandy-Soaked Raisin Sweet Potatoes

Brandy-Soaked Raisin Sweet Potatoes balance natural sweetness with a warm, boozy richness from plumped raisins and a hint of brown sugar. The buttery layers turn tender and caramel-kissed as they bake, making this a cozy side for holiday dinners or chilly weeknights. Serve alongside roasted meats or as a festive addition to a fall table.

Brandy-Soaked Raisin Sweet Potatoes
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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