INGREDIENTS
2 large sweet potatoes baked until very tender, peeled and mashed (about 3-4 cups), they take about 60 min. at 350F.
3 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. 1/2 and 1/2 cream 10%
Salt to taste
PECAN TOPPING
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup pecans chopped
1/3 cup butter

Mash soft cooked sweet potatoes with the butter, cream, and salt in a mixing bowl. If your potatoes are baked well you should be able to mash them easily without the use of a hand mixer.Place them in 3-4 ramekins or one larger dish. Mix the brown sugar, flour and butter together until crumbly, add the pecans and place on top of sweet potato. Bake at 350F for 20min. or until the edges are bubbling and the topping lightly browned. Serve immediately.
Note: This can be made ahead. Leaving the topping off until you are about to put it in the oven. If it is made ahead you will need to bake for an additional 10-15 min. or until heated through.
