Sweet Sweet Sweet Potato

Ingredients

  • 3 cups mashed sweet potato
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cream or whole milk or coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 1 bloop vanilla
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • pinch salt

topping

  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. do a rough chop of the sweet potatoes and peel as preferred - you can keep most of the skins on but take off any coarse bits as you chop them up

  2. boil in salted water until soft

  3. mash, then let cool substantially

  4. preheat the oven to 375

  5. beat the eggs, milk, butter, vanilla, and brown sugar a bit, then pour into the pot with the mashed sweet potatoes and whip

  6. pour/dollop out into a baking dish and smooth out

  7. whisk the topping ingredients, less the walnuts, and then fold in the nuts (chopped relatively well)

  8. spoon over the top of the sweet potatoes

  9. toss in the oven uncovered for 30-40 minutes, until crispy and caramelized on top
