Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 large sweet potatoes (about 2 lbs), peeled and cubed

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1/3 cup milk

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the pecan topping:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

    2. Cook the sweet potatoes: In a large pot, boil the cubed sweet potatoes until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.

    3. Mix the sweet potato base: In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with melted butter, brown sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.

    4. Transfer to the baking dish: Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly in the prepared dish.

    5. Make the pecan topping: In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and chopped pecans until crumbly.

    6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato layer.

    7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and slightly crisp.
