How to cook deliciously - Southern Sweet Potato Casserole

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place potatoes on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet.

2 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until very tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly, about 5 minutes. Peel.

3 . Stage

Transfer peeled sweet potatoes into a large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with beaters or a whisk attachment. Mix on low speed to begin mashing them. Add 1/2 cup butter and mix until absorbed. Add white sugar, honey, brown sugar, 1 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg; mix until thoroughly blended. Add eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

4 . Stage

Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly add the heated milk. Taste and adjust salt and nutmeg if needed.

5 . Stage

Grease a 9x13x2-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon softened butter and pour potato mixture into it.

6 . Stage

Pour brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for topping into a mixing bowl and mix well. Use your fingers to work the chilled butter into the mixture until it resembles oatmeal with some pea-sized pieces of butter in it. Stir in the pecan pieces and mix well. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the sweet potatoes.

7 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown and crisp and sweet potatoes are set, but still slightly loose in the center, 30 to 45 minutes.
