1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F

Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F
6
Add the granulated sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla and salt to the bowl with the sweet potatoes
7
Mash the mixture with a potato masher until combined and slightly lumpy-you don't want it to be perfectly smooth
8
Now, in a separate bowl, mash the brown sugar, pecans, flour and butter with a pastry cutter or fork until thoroughly combined

The mixture should resemble a crumble
10
Spread the sweet potato mixture in a 14-cup oval-shaped baking dish and sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top
