By Bostoncook

Ingredients

• 14 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and in 1" cubes, about 5 lbs
• 1/2 cup half and half
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup butter, chilled, in small pieces
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 375.

2. Place potatoes in Dutch oven with water to cover. Bring to a boil, simmer 12 mins, or until tender. Drain.

3. Combine half and half-egg. Add potato. Beat until smooth. Spoon into sprayed 9x13" pan.

4. Combine flour-sugar in food processor, pulse to combine. Add butter, pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in nuts, sprinkle over potatoes.

5. Cover and bake at 375 for 15 mins. Uncover and bake 25 mins, or until topping is browned and potatoes are heated through.

Notes: Great! Cut down on flour for the streusel. Also added cinnamon, allspice, and a pinch of cardamom into the potatoes. Also just used 2% milk - a big hit at Thanksgiving
