Cooking Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake sweet potatoes 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until they begin to soften. Cool slightly, peel, and mash.
Melt butter in a large bowl. Allow butter to cool (so eggs don't scramble). Mix salt, 1/4 cup butter, eggs (temper if necessary), vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar, and heavy cream. Add mashed sweet potatoes and mix (or mash together). Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup butter, flour, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Mix (you can prepare this while the potatoes are cooking). Sprinkle over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake 30 minutes, until topping is crisp and lightly browned.
