This vibrant vegetarian side dish elevates the humble sweet potato into something truly indulgent. By simmering red-skinned sweet potatoes—often known as garnet yams—until tender and then roasting them in a rich glaze of maple syrup and butter, you achieve a beautiful balance of natural sweetness and earthy flavour. The addition of brandy-soaked raisins and toasted walnut pieces provides a sophisticated contrast in texture, making this a standout addition to any seasonal table.

Ideal for a Sunday roast or a festive celebration, these maple-glazed potatoes are easy to prepare ahead of time. The brandied fruit adds a subtle warmth that pairs excellently with savoury main courses, while the sticky, reduced syrup ensures every bite is packed with flavour. Serve this comforting dish warm to appreciate the crunch of the nuts and the aromatic sweetness of the glaze.

Ingredients for Garnet Yams with Maple Syrup, Walnuts, and Brandied Raisins

80g brown raisins
80g golden raisins
40g brandy
2.3kg garnet yams or other yams (red-skinned sweet potatoes), peeled, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
180ml pure maple syrup
120ml (compactos) de azúcar moreno dorado
50g (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
350g walnut pieces, toasted

How to make Garnet Yams with Maple Syrup, Walnuts, and Brandied Raisins

Combine brown raisins, golden raisins, and brandy in small bowl; toss to blend. Let soak at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.

Cook yams in large pot of boiling salted water until just barely tender, about 8 minutes. Using large slotted spoon, transfer yams to baking sheet to cool.

Meanwhile, bring 180ml maple syrup, 120ml brown sugar, and 60ml unsalted butter to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until brown sugar dissolves. Boil 2 minutes.

Butter 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Drain raisins (reserve brandy for another use). Place raisins in very large bowl. Add cooked yams, then maple syrup mixture and toasted walnut pieces. Toss gently to coat evenly, being careful to keep yams intact. Transfer yam mixture to prepared baking dish. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 177°C. Bake yams uncovered until syrup is thick and bubbling, basting occasionally, about 55 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes and serve.
