Sweet Potatoes:

  • 3 - 4 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons butter (softened)

Instructions
 

Mashed Sweet Potatoes:

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  • Place sweet potatoes into a large cooking pot (3-5 potatoes - depending on their size). Cover with water and cook until the potatoes are soft. Peel and mash. (If preferred, the sweet potatoes can be placed on a baking sheet and baked in the oven until soft.)
    3 - 4 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes

  • Pour the potato mixture into a greased 9" baking dish. Evenly spread the streusel mixture over the top.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes or until heated through and the topping is golden brown.

Streusel Topping:

  • Mix the brown sugar, flour, and pecans. Stir in the melted butter and mix well.
    3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1 - 1 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 3 Tablespoons butter, melted

Notes

Sweet potatoes can be peeled, cubed, and then cooked. They can be cooked whole. Or you can bake them. Either way works.
If desired, add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the sweet potato mixture. It's a great addition.
Adjust the amount of sugar as desired.
