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.
