Ingredients

12 large sweet potatoes
3/4 cup (11/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup toasted pecan pieces
1 cup miniature marshmallows

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Wash the sweet potatoes, scrubbing them well to remove any dirt. With a fork, prick the sweet potatoes in a couple of spots and place them on a sheet pan. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center goes in easily.

In a large bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar, and flour together until it's crumbly-looking. Add the cinnamon, salt, pecans, and marshmallows; fold the streusel topping together to combine.

Slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise down the center and push the ends towards the middle so it opens up. Stuff the sweet potatoes generously with the streusel topping and return to the oven. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and brown.

Kids love it and perfect for Shabbat Dinner
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My kids and guests all loved this! It looked nice enough to serve for Shabbat dinner (not just Thanksgiving) and was easy to... make a little bit ahead of time. I was able to get the kids to eat a little more protein with the option of more sweet potatoes.Read more

Wonderful!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these several years ago for Thanksgiving dinner at my In-Laws'. They got rave reviews, and now are a requested side... dish every year since. They are sweet, and gooey, and dessert isn't mandatory after eating these. YUMMY!Read more

Sometimes it isn't about the look of the dish, but the taste. Next time you should actually put a fork in these delicious... things and understand why so many people including myself have fallen in love with them.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We loved this recipe, the only thing my sweet potatoes took a lot longer to bake than 45 min. It was not a big deal,... because the flavior made up for the extra time.Read more

I've found my signature dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Now being 21 I really wanted to create a signature dish that I could bring to our large family's thanksgiving dinner every... year. So i gave this dish a try.. and wow! My family raved and raved over this dish. It was the hit of Thanksgiving. The biggest compliment came from my picky 82 year old grandmother when she told me that these were THE best sweet potatoes she had ever had. This is definetly my holiday tradition for years to come.
