Sweet Potatoes

  • 4-6 sweet potatoes 4 large / 6 small
  • 3/4 c. white sugar
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 6 tbsp. butter
  • 1 c. heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Pecan Crumble Topping

  • 3/4 tsp. cinnamon

  • 1/3 c. flour
  • 3 tbsp. butter, softened
  • 1/2 c. chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Peel and chop sweet potatoes. Cook in a large pot of boiling water until tender. (or cook in slow cooker for 4-6 hours with a little water.)
    Drain and mash until smooth.
  • To the mashed sweet potatoes, add the white sugar, salt, butter, cream and vanilla extract. Mix in a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer until smooth.
    Transfer to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In separate bowl, mix the cinnamon, brown sugar, and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potato mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, or until the topping is lightly brown. (Be careful not to cook too long or the pecans can burn.)
