Cream butter, sugar, and sweet potatoes. Add eggs; blend well. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add alternately with milk to the egg batter. Do not over-mix. Fold in nuts and raisins. Place batter in greased muffin tins or paper baking cups. (You can sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top before baking.)
