Step 1

To prepare the sweet potatoes, first peel and dice them. Then put these pieces in a large saucepan with salted water. Boil at high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or till the potatoes become incredibly soft. Cool and drain. Make sure you mash the sweet potatoes.

When filling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter a 2-quart baking pan.

Combine the butter, milk, mashed potatoes, brown sugar, salt, eggs, and vanilla in a big bowl. Place the mixture in the prepared baking dish.

Prepare the topping by combining brown sugar, flour, salt, and butter in a separate bowl. Mix the mixture until there are no clumps. Add the pecans and mix well. Spread the mixture evenly and over top of the potatoes. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top turns brown and the center sets. Serve it warm.
