SPICY MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH RAISINS

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.

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.
