Ingredients:

• 4 cups mashed sweet potatoes or yams (I use yams)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 stick butter
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 can coconut (2 1/2 cups)
• 1 small can crushed pineapple with juice
• 2 eggs
• Topping:
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 stick butter

Method

Cook potatoes until tender, mash and add butter while potatoes are hot. Add coconut, eggs, sugar, pineapple, vanilla and milk. Mix all ingredients well and pour into a baking dish. Topping: Melt butter, add brown sugar, flour and pecans. Mix together and spread on top of casserole. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

Notes: I have found it is easier to put the topping on with my fingers so I can spread it out evenly over the potato mixture.

Number of servings: 4-6
