Praline Sweet Potatoes

Here is another way you could contribute to your family's Thanksgiving dinner.  It is a different recipe for sweet potatoes that is really delicious.  And, I know you can do it because my daughter made it for her apartment's Thanksgiving dinner last week before she came home.

4 medium sweet potatoes (1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 beaten eggs
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoons butter, cooled slightly
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Wash and peel potatoes cut into quarters.  Cook in boiling water for 25 to 30 minutes or until tender, drain well.

Grease 8x8x2 inch baking dish.  In a large mixing bowl beat sweet potatoes on a low speed until smooth.  Beat in sugar, butter and salt until well combined.  Add eggs and milk, beat until just combined and spread in baking dish.

For topping: In a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, flour and one tablespoon melted butter.  Stir in pecans.  Sprinkle topping over potato mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
