Instructions
Bottom Layer 0 Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash sweet potatoes and poke multiple times with a fork. Bake on a cooking sheet for 40-45 minutes. Once cooked, reduce oven temperature to 350°F and remove potatoes allowing them to cool some. Then, remove the skins. 1 In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes with a fork or masher. 2 Mix together the sweet potatoes, sugar, scrambled eggs, milk, melted butter and vanilla. 3 In a greased 8x11 baking dish, spread the sweet potato mixer evenly with a spatula. Top Layer 4 In another large mixing bowl, use a spatula to mix together softened butter, brown sugar, flour and chopped pecans. It should come together in a cookie dough consistency. 5 Crumble the pecan topping on top of the sweet potato layer in your baking dish. It doesn't have to be perfect, it will end up melting together in the oven to make a smooth layer. 6 Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. 7 Optional - Toss marshmallows on top and place back in the oven for 10 minutes if you want a fluffy marshmallow layer.View original recipe
