Slice the potatoes in half. Carefully scoop out the flesh and put in a large bowl. Stir in the butter, spices, maple syrup, yogurt/cream into the potato flesh. Combine and mash well until you have a uniform purée. Season with salt to taste. Fold in the toasted pecans & raisins (set aside 1/4 cup raisins for the topping.)
