How to Make Sweet Potato Supreme

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and cube 3 pounds of sweet potatoes.
  3. Boil the cubed sweet potatoes until tender (approximately 15-20 minutes). Drain well.
  4. In a large bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes with 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add 1/2 cup milk (or more, as needed) to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Pour the mashed sweet potatoes into a greased 10-inch baking dish.
  7. **Make the topping:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and a pinch of salt.
  8. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly (about 5-7 minutes).
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  10. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans evenly over the mashed sweet potatoes.
  11. Pour the topping evenly over the pecans.
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the sweet potatoes are heated through.
