  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help them cook through evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork. This will take about 1 hour, depending on the size of the potatoes.
  • While the sweet potatoes are baking, make the streusel topping. Combine the flour, sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a bowl and mix until crumbly.
  • Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, mash them until smooth. Add the butter, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and spices and mix until well combined.
  • Pour the mashed sweet potatoes into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with the streusel topping and bake for 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with butter or marshmallows, if desired.
