My sister-in-law made this for Thanksgiving, with a little less brown sugar, and it was delicious.

We had this at a friends house over the weekend. When I asked for her recipe she printed this out for me. I'm not a fan of sweet potatos but this was good and even my picky three year old had seconds. Thanks for the post.

My uncle has been making this dish for Thanksgiving and Christmas for the last few years. I personally dont care for yams/sweet potatoes, but after tasting this creation - I'm a yam fan (at least when they are made this way)! With the sweet potatoes smoothe as silk and the sugar/nut topping for a nice contrast in textures, it became a family favorite for holidays. Make it and your family with fight over the last spoonful!

I make this for the holidays every year and my daughter usually makes it to take to annual Christmas lunch at work. It never fails to get compliments. This is not your typical sweet potato casserole - it's very sweet and more like a dessert.

Loved it. We added a touch of cinnamon and cut the recipe for 4 people. We bought the cubed peeled sweet potatoes in a bag in the produce section of Wal-mart and you can actually cook those IN the BAG IN the MICROWAVE in 5 minutes with no mess. That saves the vitamins too.

Here's what I did to make this a 5 star recipe that everyone raved about: - Bake fresh sweet potatoes, wrapped in foil, at 450F for one hour. - Halved the sugar (used only 1/2 cup) - Added 1/2 cup maple (not pancake!) syrup - Used only about 1/2-2/3 of the topping on a 9x13" dish. Using the whole amount lays it on too thick.

I made this recipe for thanksgiving and the topping was very good but the potatoes lacked in flavor and consistency. If I make them again I would add all dark brown sugar instead of white sugar and a good shot of maple syrup.

I made marshmallow topped sweet potatoes last year and I thought it was good..until I made this potato casserole! The brown sugar topping with pecans was absolutely amazing. I followed the recipe exactly and I wouldn't change a thing! This recipe is good as a side dish or as dessert! It wasn't too sweet but hit the spot!

I hate hate HATE sweet potatoes. Until now. This recipe is GREAT! I baked the casserole covered and the topping melded into the potatoes. Everyone loved it! This one is a "MUST TRY" for all the sweet potato haters in your family.

Just got back from Thanksgiving dinner and EVERYONE loved this recipe. I used a 2.5 lb can of sweet potatoes, drained and rinsed and mashed them with 2 boiled fresh sweet potatoes. I cut the white sugar to 1/2 a cup. Everything else I followed exactly. So good and fairly simple. I will make this again next year. Thanks for the recipe!

This is truly one of the best dishes I've ever tasted. Perfect for the holidays, I've used it for two years in a row and it's now a staple for Thanksgiving in my house. My only suggestion would be DO NOT CHANGE A THING. It's perfectly delicious as is.

I made this for the first time, and brought it to work today. Everyone loved it. I'm glad I read the recommendations to reduce the sugar, because it would have been much too sweet otherwise. I made it with 8 cups of baked mashed yams instead of sweet potatoes, reduced the white sugar to 1/2 cup, used 1 stick of butter, and added cinnamon & nutmeg to taste. For the topping I reduced the brown sugar to 1 cup, and used 1 stick of butter. I made the yams last night, and kept them in the fridge, then this morning I covered them with the topping, and baked. All my co-workers asked for the recipe!

Used yams instead of sweet potatoes.this got good reviews from everyone at the Thanksgiving table. Cut back on the sugar to 1/2 cup and I still found it too sweet. Will do 1/4 next time. Cut back on the brown sugar in the topping also to 1/2 cup.
