Peel and slice sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch slices. Cook in water and drain and mash. (I prefer to bake mine.) Beat with electric beaters, stopping every so often to remove any strings that may collect on beaters. Add butter and sugar to warm potatoes and continue mixing. Add milk, vanilla and eggs. Mix well and put in a buttered casserole dish about 8" x 12". Mix the Pecan Topping ingredients and crumble over top of casserole. Bake 30 minutes at 350 . Freezes well before or after cooking.

I sometimes add mini mashmallows to the top before baking.

Answer 5

it honestly relies upon on what the numerous route is. i love all of them except sweet potatoes. i appreciate fries with a valuable burger or poultry tenders. Mashed potatoes flow tremendous with grilled poultry or meatloaf. Baked potatoes are outstanding with steak. Little purple potatoes do impressive in stews and a purple meat chop oven roast. i'm confident I purely made all of you hungry! undemanding i might want to propose mashed potatoes although, because they're the finest to make and they flow solid with maximum issues.
