Steps:
- For the sweet potatoes: Add 1 3/4 pounds peeled and cubed sweet potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool. Mash the sweet potatoes.
- For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
- Whisk together the butter, mashed sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, butter and salt in a medium bowl until moist and the mixture clumps together. Stir in the pecans. Spread the mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes in an even layer. Bake until mostly set in the center and golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot.
Tips:
- Use a variety of sweet potatoes. Different varieties of sweet potatoes have different flavors and textures. Experiment with different types to find the one you like best.
- Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. Overcooked sweet potatoes will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender.
- Use a combination of spices. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger add a warm and inviting flavor to sweet potato casserole. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations of spices.
- Add a crunchy topping. A crunchy topping, such as a pecan streusel or a cornflake crumble, adds texture and flavor to sweet potato casserole. It also helps to keep the casserole from becoming soggy.
- Make it ahead of time. Sweet potato casserole can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. This makes it a great dish for busy weeknights.
