Ingredients

6 sweet potatoes
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup melted butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup melted butter

Directions

1 Place sweet potatoes in a large stockpot; cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, cool, and remove skins.
2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
3 Place potatoes in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until potatoes begin to break up. Increase speed to medium-high; continue blending until smooth.
4 Reduce speed to low and add white sugar, milk, 1/2 cup butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt; continue mixing until well combined.
5 Remove and discard any potato fibers on the beaters. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
6 Mix brown sugar, pecans, flour, and 1/3 cup butter together in a medium bowl until crumbly. Sprinkle topping over potato mixture.
7 Bake in the preheated oven until center of soufflé is set, about 40 minutes.
