Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups pecans
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups brown sugar (for topping)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, milk, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mash everything together until smooth. If desired, add vanilla extract for additional flavor.

Step 4

Spread the mashed sweet potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the pecans, all-purpose flour, brown sugar (for topping), and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter (melted). Mix together with a fork until crumbly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the pecan crumb mixture evenly over the mashed sweet potatoes.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crispy.

Step 8

Allow the dish to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this flavorful and festive side dish!
