Ingredients
Ingredients
6 large sweet potatoes 3 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar 3 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar 2 large eggs, beaten 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, slightly softened 1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar 1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar 3/4 cup chopped pecans
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Make the sweet potatoes: Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast until very tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half, scoop flesh into a bowl and mash until smooth. You should have 4 to 5 cups of mashed sweet potato. Stir in brown sugars, eggs, orange juice, butter, vanilla, and salt; transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish.
Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar, and pecans. Sprinkle over sweet potato mixture. Transfer to oven and bake until nuts are toasted and casserole has puffed, about 30 minutes. Serve.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5.0 stars 11/28/2019 This is my favorite sweet potato casserole, by far! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 11/19/2018 I make this recipe every Thanksgiving....I also make copies of the recipe to have on hand because every year there are multiple requests for the recipe. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 11/25/2015 This is my ultimate favorite Thanksgiving recipe. Even my mother-in-law who hates anything with sweet potato always puts a heaping spoonful on her plate and believe me, that says something! The only thing I do different is halve the topping as, imo, it makes way too much. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/04/2011 I made this for my Bible Study brunch. It was wonderful! I made it the night before and heated it up again before the brunch. I doubled the recipe. The sweet potato used was very sweet, so I cut back on the brown sugar. This recipe will replace my old candied yam recipe for holiday meals. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/23/2010 I made this recipe for Thanksgiving this year and my family loved it! It was almost like eating sweet potato pie. I will continue making this recipe from now on. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/18/2010 We have made this recipe for years since I switched over from the marshmallow-topped recipe. Everyone loves it and always requests it no matter which household we have Thanksgiving!Martha Stewart Member
