Category: Casseroles, Potatoes
Ingredients List
- 3 1/2 cups sweet potatoes, mashed
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/4 cup buttermilk*
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- For the topping:
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
Directions
1. Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees. Grease a casserole dish (about 2 1/2 quart size)
2. Combine the sweet potatoes, sugar, eggs, vanilla, buttermilk and butter in a medium bowl using an electric mixer or by hand.
3. Pour into your casserole dish.
4. Bake at for 25-30 minutes. (Or if you want to make this dish ahead of time, cover and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Take it out and bake uncovered.)
5. While it is baking, make the topping. Combine the flour, pecans, butter and brown sugar in a small bowl. When the casserole is done baking remove from oven and sprinkle topping over the top. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. You want a lightly browned, crunchy top.
6. Let it sit for about 30 minutes before serving.
Notes:
*Milk will work if you don't have buttermilk. I bake my potatoes in the oven. Wash, dry and pierce with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 30-45 min at 375 degrees or until it passes a fork test. Let them cool, then peel the skin off or cut open and scrape out the insides. You could also use canned yams if you were pressed for time. I use salted butter, if you prefer unsalted, add a 1/2 tsp. salt to the potato mixture.
