BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH RAISINS AND PECANS
A fresh alternative to a classic Thanksgiving side dish. I do not take credit for this recipe, I did not create it. I found this recipe online years ago and have been making it ever since. I have used both Yams and Sweet Potatoes. Yams give a little more color contrast to the dish. This recipe can easily be made Vegan by omitting the butter :-)

This is my favorite style of a Thanksgiving or Christmas time sweet potato side dish, since I'm not really a big fan of whipped sweet potatoes with marshmallow toppings. This is a very sweet dish (candied) but more to my liking. The spice and pecans add a whole new level of taste and texture.

Steps:

- Scrub, but do not peel, the potatoes.
- Pierce them in several places with a fork.
- Microwave on HIGH for 12 minutes until done.
- Meanwhile, combine the butter, sugar, and pecans.
- Once potatoes are done, slice length wise, about 2/3 of the way down (do not cut through) and push end toward each other to "fluff" the potato and create a well for the butter.
- Place a scoop of butter mixture into the center and wrap in foil until serving.

- Pierce the potatoes with a fork before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter to help them brown and crisp.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with a mixture of salt and pepper for a simple yet flavorful seasoning.
- Add a variety of toppings to your sweet potatoes, such as butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, or chopped nuts.
- For a crispy exterior, place the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack. For a softer exterior, place them in a baking dish.
- Be sure to check on the potatoes regularly to ensure that they do not overcook.
- Sweet potatoes can be baked at a lower temperature for a longer period of time for a more tender result.
- Leftover sweet potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
