Mrs. Haney’s Sweet Potato Casserole

A Southern transplant to Idaho, Mrs. Haney loved her sweet potatoes. This is a marvelous casserole that is perfect for family celebrations – we love it at Thanksgiving.

Potato Mixture

• 3 large eggs
• 5 pounds (6 cups) of mashed sweet or yams
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 1/3 cup cream
• tsp vanilla
• ½ tsp each nutmeg and allspice

Topping:

• 1 cup light-brown sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1/3 cup butter

Preheat oven to 350.

Grease a shallow 2qt baking dish. Next, beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in potatoes until blended. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Spread evenly into the baking dish.

For topping, mix sugar, flour and nuts in a small bowl. Work in the butter. Sprinkle the topping over the potato mixture.

Bake 60-70 minutes until topping is browned.
