I didn't get this posted at holiday time so thought you might like to make this luscious dish for Easter??!!
These are perfection! So glad I saw this recipe at Stacey's Southern Bite. I so appreciate his family values and humility. He has made #1 in the ranks of cookbooks sold on Amazon this year! Simple, down home cookin..you just can't go wrong with it!
I adapted Stacey's recipe so if you want to see the original, go to the link above.
If you're looking for a special sweet tater side dish, this is it folks!
My mouth waters to think of it. I REALLY enjoyed leftovers too after I served this for our family Thanksgiving brunch.
(The topping really is more crumbly than my photo. I was in a rush and baked it a little longer after taking the photo...then everyone was ready to scarf, so this is all I've got)

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH PRALINE TOPPING
3# sweet potatoes
(about 7 - 8 medium)
1-1/2 c. sugar
(I used 1 c.- xylitol works great)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 lg. eggs
1/2 c. evaporated milk
1/2 stick butter (4 Tb.) butter, softened
TOPPING:
3/4 - 1 c. light brown sugar
(if using xylitol...add a tsp. of molasses)
1/3 c. all purpose flour
1/3 c. butter, melted
1/2 - 3/4 c. chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350. Grease 1-1/2 qt. baking dish.
Scrub sweet taters, then boil until fork-tender. Cool; peel.
(You can peel then boil them, but I think that's more work=)
In large bowl, mash potatoes until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, eggs, evaporated milk and butter; stir until blended. Pour into prepared dish.
In small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, butter and pecans. Spoon mixture over the potatoes. Bake 30 - 40 minutes until done.
