When I was little, Mamaw would bake sweet potatoes and serve them up with butter. Until I was dang near an adult, I didn't know there was any other way to eat them. Now, I make them tons of different ways. This one is pretty good; not my best, but still pretty good. Ingredients:
1 3/4 lbs sweet potatoes, about 2 big ones |
1/4 cup butter, plus |
3 tablespoons butter |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1/3 cup flour |
Directions:
1. Cut the sweet potatoes into 2 inch chunks and place in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium. Cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and return to pot; mash until smooth and cool 15 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 1 quart casserole. Melt 1/4 cup of butter. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Beat in the vanilla and the potatoes. Transfer to the casserole dish.
3. In a small bowl, stir together the pecans and flour. Mix in the remaining butter until pea-sized pieces form. Crumble crumbs over the potatoes.
4. Bake until top is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
