Ingredients:

Serving

6 sweet potatoes (4 lb)
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/3 cup half-and-half
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold butter or margarine , cut into pieces
32 coarsely crushed gingersnap cookies (we tested with nabisco)

Directions:

Cook sweet potatoes in a Dutch oven in boiling water to cover over medium heat 30 minutes or until tender. Cool; peel and mash potatoes.
Combine mashed sweet potato, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and next 4 ingredients in a mixing bowl; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. (Or mash with a potato masher until smooth.) Spoon into a greased 2 1/2-quart or 13 x 9 baking dish.
Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and flour. Cut in 1/4 cup cold butter with a pastry blender until crumbly. Stir in crushed gingersnaps. Sprinkle streusel over sweet potato. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes or until streusel is lightly browned.
Make Ahead: Prepare sweet potato filling, and spoon into a greased 2 1/2-quart microwave-safe dish. Cover and chill overnight. Microwave at HIGH 10 minutes or until hot. Prepare streusel, and sprinkle over filling. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes or until streusel is lightly browned.
