ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds)
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 1 1⁄2 cups crushed corn flakes

directions
- Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into 3/4 inch cubes. Place in a pot and cover with water, several inches above the potatoes. Boil until they're soft (about 20 minutes).
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Drain the sweet potatoes and add to a mixing bowl with one stick of butter. Mash until smooth and the butter has melted.

- Pour the mixture into a 9x13 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees, uncovered, for 45 minutes, or until the casserole is firm.
- While the casserole is baking, prepare the topping. Melt one stick of butter in the microwave. Add to it the 1 1/2 cups crushed corn flakes, the pecans, and the brown sugar.
- After the casserole is done baking, remove it from the oven and spoon on the topping. Return to the oven and cook for another 15 minutes.

OH YUM!! This is SO good! I reduced the servings. It came out great. I messed up and put brown sugar instead of white in the potatoes but it was still great! Also I used raisin bran instead of corn flakes (what I had on hand) I picked out the raisins but It would be good with them. My kids loved as well. I really loved the topping! Thank you so much! I will be making this again! Made for Fall PAC 2008
