Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes. Look for firm, smooth sweet potatoes that are free of blemishes. Avoid any that are soft or have bruises.
  • Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Scrub the sweet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork. This will help the sweet potatoes to cook evenly.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the sweet potatoes and give them a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Add the brandy and raisins during the last few minutes of cooking. This will help to prevent the brandy from evaporating and the raisins from becoming too dry.

Conclusion:

Sweet potatoes with brandy and raisins is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet potatoes are tender and flavorful, the brandy adds a touch of sophistication, and the raisins add a bit of sweetness and texture. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
