Soul Sweet Taters Recipes

SOUL SWEET 'TATERS

Steps:

• Wash 4 medium sweet potatoes and bake them in a 375-degree oven until fork tender, about 30-35 minutes. When they are finished cooking slice them open and scrape out the flesh into a large bowl.
• Add 1 cup of (regular granulated) sugar, 1 cup of milk, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of salt. With a potato masher, mash them up just enough-you don't want to be perfectly smooth.
• Now, in a separate bowl, add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup pecans, chopped (that means measure a cup of pecans, then chop them), ½ cup flour, and ¾ stick of butter. With a pastry cutter or fork, mash together until thoroughly combined.
• Spread the sweet potato mixture into a regular baking dish and sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top.
• Bake in a 400-degree oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• For the sweet potatoes: Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
• Bake the sweet potatoes until fork-tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the potatoes and raise the oven temperature to 400ºF.
• Slice the sweet potatoes in half and let them cool slightly. Scoop out the innards, place into a large bowl and give them a good mash, leaving some texture to the potatoes-no need to mash completely. Add the granulated sugar, milk, salt, vanilla extract and eggs. Stir and mash the mixture around-you don't want them to be perfectly smooth.
• Butter a 2-quart baking dish, pour in the potatoes and smooth out the top.
• For the topping: Combine the brown sugar and flour in a bowl. Throw in the butter and with a pastry cutter, cut together until thoroughly combined. Add the pecans and combine until the topping is nice and crumbly. Sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top of the potatoes.
• Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
