Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • ¼ cup softened butter
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon softened butter

Instruction

  • Rinse the sweet potatoes to remove any residual dirt. Place them in a deep pot with enough water to cover by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a high simmer and cook for 40-45 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender.
  • Remove the sweet potatoes from the water and allow them to cool enough to handle. (Slice them open to hurry the cooling process.)
  • While the sweet potatoes cool, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and generously butter a baking dish.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes, place them in a mixing bowl, and mash using a potato masher or large fork.
  • Add the softened butter, light brown sugar, milk, egg, and vanilla.
  • Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Spread the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the topping. Use a fork to mix well.
  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the 350 degree preheated oven.
