Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish and set it aside.
Step 2
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Step 3
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and mash until smooth.

Add the granulated sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Whisk together until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6
In a medium bowl, prepare the topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, and melted butter. Mix until it forms a crumbly mixture.
Step 7
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crispy.
