Ingredients
- A quarter cup of rich brandy
- Half a cup of plump raisins
- Two tablespoons of soft butter
- Four sweet potatoes, each weighing about a pound
- A quarter cup of firmly packed brown sugar
Step 1
Begin by soaking raisins in brandy in a small bowl, covering it, and allowing it to sit for a couple of hours to infuse the flavors.
Step 2
Next, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously butter a 2-quart baking dish with softened butter, ensuring a delightful golden crust.
Step 3
Lay out the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, letting them roast in the preheated oven until they turn tender, which usually takes around 30 minutes. Once they are done, let them cool off a bit before peeling and slicing them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Step 4
Arrange the sweet potato slices in the prepared baking dish, creating a lovely pattern, and generously sprinkle sugar and the brandy-infused raisins on top, adding a touch of sweetness and warmth to the dish.
Step 5
Pop the baking dish back into the oven and let it bake for another 30 to 40 minutes until the sweet potatoes are hot and bubbly, ready to be enjoyed by all.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Embrace the Layers: Start by layering your sweet potato medley in a glass dish, alternating between sweet potatoes and your brandy-infused mixture for maximum flavor infusion.
- 2. Ingenious Covering: Use a fitting lid or aluminum foil to cover the dish before storing it in the refrigerator. This will help seal in the flavors and prevent any cross-contamination with other foods.
