Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• 4 cups peeled, cubed sweet potatoes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Prepare sweet potatoes: Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Cook over medium-high heat until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Step 3

Mash drained sweet potatoes with a fork. Add eggs; mix until well combined. Add sugar, milk, butter, vanilla, and salt; mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 4

Make topping: Mix brown sugar and flour together in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until mixture is coarse and looks like peas; don't overmix. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle topping over sweet potato mixture.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until topping is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
