Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet potato casserole has been around forever but I came across this recipe in 2009 on the website All Recipes. I have made this several times and it  is a favorite sweet treat on my holiday table along side the turkey!  This is one of my Mom’s favorite holiday dishes!

5 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
salt
1/4 cup of butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 ground cinnamon
1/2 cup white sugar
2 Tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup butter
3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into even size large pieces and place in a large pot of cold water. Bring the pot of potatoes to a boil and turn down to simmer. continue to simmer until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain potatoes and mash or run through a food mill. In a large bowl mix the mashed potatoes with salt, 1/4 cup butter, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon,sugar and heavy cream and transfer to a prepared baking dish. In a medium bowl combine 1/4 cup butter, flour, brown sugar and pecans.
