Ingredients

Potato Mixture

  • 4 cups mashed sweet potatoes or 40 oz can of yams drained
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Topping

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 5 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 cup pecans optional

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in potato mixture well.  Pour into a buttered 2 1/2 quart or 8 x 8" square baking dish.
  • Mix all topping ingredients.  Crumble topping evenly over potato mixture. 
  • Bake at 350°F for 35 - 45 minutes uncovered.

Notes

  • We could not tell a difference in taste between canned yams and freshly boiled and mashed sweet potatoes.
  • Dish may be prepared up 2-3 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Allow dish to warm up on the counter for 30 to 60 minutes before baking to avoid cracking the dish while baking.
