How to Make Praline Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 pounds peeled and cubed sweet potatoes, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup heavy cream.
  3. Blend until smooth using an immersion blender or potato masher. Alternatively, you can use a food processor. Be sure there are no large chunks of sweet potatoes left.
  4. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
  5. In a separate bowl, prepare the topping: Combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened; ½ cup packed light brown sugar; ½ cup all-purpose flour; and 1 cup pecan halves.
  6. Mix with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture is crumbly.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the sweet potatoes are tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
