Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6-8 cups sweet potatoes cooked
  • 1/2 cup butter soft
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla

Topping

  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F and grease a 9 x 13 inch pan or casserole dish of similar size. Peal, cut and boil potatoes until a fork will go in easily.

  2. Strain potatoes and pour in a large mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix with a hand mixer. Pour into the prepared dish and smooth out until even.

  3. In a small bowl, melt butter and add the brown sugar and bread crumbs for the topping. Mix until combined. Spread evenly on the top of the sweet potatoes. I use my hand and sprinkle it around until it is mostly covered. You may still see the potatoes underneath, that is okay, it will spread out during baking.

  4. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the top is browned and stiff.
