Ingredients

12 large sweet potatoes, peeled
2 cups light brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 ½ sticks butter, melted, divided
2 cups chopped pecans
1 ½ cups white sugar
⅔ cup milk
4 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; transfer to a large bowl and mash.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
Mix brown sugar and flour together in another bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 sticks melted butter, a little at a time, until incorporated. Stir in pecans.
Mix mashed sweet potatoes, remaining butter, white sugar, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together. Spread sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with brown sugar topping.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
