First had this recipe for Christmas dinner 2019. It is excellent.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
Filling:
- 4 TBL butter melted
- 1 3/4 pound sweet potato peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 2 large egg
Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 4 TBL butter melted
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
Sweet Potatoes
- Add 1 3/4 pounds peeled and cubed sweet potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool. Mash the sweet potatoes.
Filling:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Whisk together the butter, mashed sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
Topping:
- Combine the flour, brown sugar, butter and salt in a medium bowl until moist and the mixture clumps together. Stir in the pecans. Spread the mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes in an even layer.
- Bake until mostly set in the center and golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.
