Sweet Potatoes

Submitted by Nikki Thompson

"I found this recipe in a Habitat for Humanity cookbook years ago and it has become a staple in our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. It is different in that it has a coconut/brown sugar topping instead of marshmallows."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 3 cups sweet potatoes (I have used canned and fresh and they are both great)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1⁄3 cup melted butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• Topping

• 1 cup coconut
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄3 cup flour
• 1⁄3 cup melted butter

directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix potatoes that have been mashed, sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla together until well mixed. Pour into a 8X8 casserole dish. In the same bowl used for the filling mix all ingredients for the topping together. Spoon topping on the top of the potatoes and spead it out evenly. Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes.

This is tasty. I did cut the sugar to 2/3 cup in the potatoes and 2/3 cup in the topping. I like the coconut for a change.
