Ingredients
- 3 pounds sweet potato peeled and cubed
- 2 large egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside of an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Place cubed sweet potatoes in a large pot, covering them with ½-inch to 1 inch of water (potatoes should be almost covered). Cook for 20-25 minutes over medium high heat until tender, then drain and mash.
- In a large bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, salt, butter, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth then transfer to the prepared baking dish, spreading them into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and pecans evenly over the surface. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the casserole is hot and browned around the edges.
