Gourmet Sweet Potatoes
Servings: 8

5 sweet potatoes
1/4 cup butter
2 egg whites, may use whole eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp. heavy cream
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans - optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13"
baking dish. Bake sweet potatoes 45-60 minutes in the preheated oven
(until they begin to soften). Cool, peel, and mash.
In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, 1/4 cup butter, eggs,
vanilla extract, cinnamon and heavy cream. (some also add 1/4 - 1/2
cup white sugar, but I don't because the potatoes are sweet) Transfer to
the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup butter, flour, brown sugar, (and
chopped pecans). Sprinkle over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake 30 minutes in the oven, until topping is lightly
browned.
