Step 1
Pour the brandy over the raisins in a small bowl. Cover it and let it sit for a couple of hours so the raisins can soak up all that flavor. When you’re ready, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 2-quart baking dish.
Step 2
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven. Bake until they’re tender when poked with a fork, about 30 minutes. Take them out and let them cool enough to handle. Peel off the skins, then slice the potatoes into half-inch thick pieces.
Step 3
Arrange the slices in your buttered dish, then sprinkle the sugar and the brandy-soaked raisins evenly over the top. Slide the dish back into the oven and bake for another 30 to 40 minutes, until everything is hot and bubbling. Enjoy!
Best Ways To Serve
Serve warm alongside roasted meats or grilled chicken for a hearty meal. It also pairs well with a fresh green salad to add brightness. For a festive touch, sprinkle chopped toasted nuts on top before serving.
How To Save Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or brandy if the sauce thickens too much. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the sweet potatoes may change.
