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.

Awesome!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make this into a casserole and make more streusal. I usually double the streusal and eyeball it for the casserole. This... is the first thing to go at Thanksgiving every year!Read more

More streusel for me please!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was my first time making sweet potatos and this recipe definitely worked out for me! I decided to do it casserole style... so I mashed 8 yams (enough to fill a 9 x 11 glass dish) and added some cream, butter, brown sugar , cinnamen, & nutmeg. (I just added to taste, I didn't put too much b.sugar since hte topping is sweet enough as is) Then I added the topping, baking at 400 for 30mins. Came out great, and everyone loved it. I don't think it heated up well the next day though-the streusel came out mushy. Read more

soooo gooood!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was looking for some holiday recipes last year around Thanksgiving to use as staples, and I wanted to experiment with some... different recipes for myself before cooking for anyone else. This was my first Thanksgiving living on my own, and even though I was going to be spending it with family, I wanted to try different recipes to find the best ones to use as my "go to" recipes, to have as my own. This was the only sweet potato recipe I even tried because it was excellent! It was so good in fact, that when I brought some over to my mother to taste, she let me take over making the sweet potatoes for Christmas! Read more

You won't be dissapointed with this dish!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dish was so easy to make and very delicious! I turned it into a casserole dish with the streusel topping instead of... individual potatoes and it worked perfectly! It was a very nice presentation. I made it last year and it was a favorite, so I'll be bringing it back again this Thanksgiving! THANK YOU TYLER!! Read more
