Southern Sweet Potato Casserole

This is the classic Southern Sweet Potato Casserole. It’s basically a dessert masquerading as a side dish.

The secret is to mash the potatoes while they are hot so the butter and sugar melt right in, and using pecans in the topping to give it a crunch that balances the soft potatoes.

1. The Potato Base

• 3 cups Sweet Potatoes (cooked and mashed—about 3 to 4 large potatoes)

• 1/2 cup Sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon Salt

• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

• 2 large Eggs

• 1/2 cup Butter (softened)

2. The Crunchy Topping

• 1 cup Brown Sugar (packed)

• 1/3 cup All-Purpose Flour

• 1 cup Pecans (chopped)

• 1/3 cup Butter (softened)
