Cut up, boil in water with a little salt until tender. Place in shallow pan, sprinkle with a little sage, add one cup broth. Pre-cook about 5 medium size sweet potatoes, cut in half, and place around the raccoon. Bake in hot oven for 20 minutes. (Note: If you have to hold your nose, its no good.)

Safety Warning: Be sure the raccoon is dead. Remember, they are a prime vector for rabies.
