Down Home Southern Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Boil the sweet potatoes. They'll take about an hour.
  • Once they are done (do the fork tender test first) and steaming hot mash them with a potato masher until they look like a thick puree.
  • Add in your eggs very slowly (you may want to temper them with a tad bit of the potatoes so as not to scramble them) milk, butter, and granulated sugar.
  • Add your nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir well.
  • Spread into a large deep glass casserole dish.
  • In a heavy sauce pan melt your 2 sticks of butter for the topping.
  • Add in the brown sugar, pecans, and coconut. It will be crumbly but that is what you want. The butter is just the binding ingredient.
  • Spread this on top of the sweet potatoes and bake in a 375 oven for around 1 hour.
