Southern Sweet Potato Bake
Ingredients
  • 4 cups peeled, cubed sweet potatoes
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
1
Acquire the necessary components. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
To initiate the preparation of sweet potatoes, submerge them in a medium-sized saucepan and cover with water. Cook over high heat until they become soft, taking around 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the water and transfer the sweet potatoes to a large bowl.
3
Use a fork to mash the cooked sweet potatoes, ensuring they reach a smooth consistency. Introduce eggs into the mixture and blend until everything is well combined. Add sugar, milk, butter, vanilla extract, and salt; continue to mix until the ingredients form a uniform blend. Transfer this mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
4
To create the topping, combine brown sugar and flour in a medium-sized bowl. Utilize a pastry cutter to cut the butter into small pieces until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-like clumps; avoid overmixing. Incorporate chopped pecans into the mixture and blend until well combined. Sprinkle this topping over the sweet potato mixture.
5
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake until the topping is lightly browned, approximately 30 minutes.
