Instructions
 

  • Add peeled and cubed sweet potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Bring to boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well and cool.
  • Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher or a mixer.
  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, mashed sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, salt and eggs. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Prepare the 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 pecan mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes in an even layer.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until mostly set in the center and golden on top.
