Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or butter a 2-quart casserole dish.

Step 3

Place potatoes in a mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until potatoes begin to break up. Increase speed to medium high and blend until smooth.

Bake in the preheated oven until the center of the soufflé is set, about 40 minutes.

Place sweet potatoes in a large stockpot; cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, allow to cool, and remove skins.

Step 7

Reduce speed to low and add sugar, milk, 1/2 cup melted butter, vanilla, eggs, and salt; mix well.

Step 8

To make the topping: Mix brown sugar, flour, 1/3 cup melted butter, and pecans together in a bowl until crumbly. Sprinkle mixture over sweet potato mixture.
