Ingredients

  • 4 cups peeled, cubed sweet potatoes (960 g)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup white sugar (100 g)
  • 1/2 cup milk (120 ml)
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, softened (56 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100 g)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (40 g)
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, softened (42 g)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (65 g)


Instructions

  1. Start by assembling your ingredients. Heat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. For the sweet potatoes: Place them in a medium pot and submerge with water. Cook on medium-high until they are soft, around 10 to 15 minutes. Drain them and move to a big bowl.
  3. Use a fork to mash the sweet potatoes. Incorporate the eggs and mix well. Add in sugar, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla, and salt; stir until the mixture is smooth. Pour this into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. For the topping: Combine brown sugar and flour in a medium bowl. Use a pastry cutter to blend in the vegetable oil until the texture resembles small peas; avoid overmixing. Mix in the pecans. Scatter this mixture over the sweet potato layer.
  5. Place in the oven and bake until the topping is lightly golden, approximately 30 minutes.
  6. Dish up and savor!

Notes

  • Thoroughly mash sweet potatoes for a smoother texture.
  • Be cautious not to overmix topping for a crumbly finish.
  • Adjust sweetness with more or less sugar to taste.
