"My go-to sweet potato recipe since I found it in Southern Living in 1994. I couldn't find the exact recipe anywhere, so here it is!"

 

• Ready In: 1hr 20mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 4 cups mashed sweet potatoes
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, softened
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup flaked coconut (optional)
• 1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour

directions

1. Boil clean potatoes in their skin and remove skin when cool-the boiling and cooling are the most time consuming steps, but are not labor intensive.
2. Combine first 7 ingredients; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour batter into a greased 11 x 7 x 1 ½-inch baking dish; set aside.
3. Combine 3 tablespoons butter and remaining ingredients, stirring with a fork; sprinkle over potato mixture.
4. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes.
