Key Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes from a can are fine in a pinch — but nothing beats the flavor of roasted sweet potatoes from scratch.
Brown Sugar: Adds to the crust, brown sugar what a rich caramel sweetness that takes this dish to the next level.
Butter: Contributes richness to both the crust and to the sweet potato mixture so every bite is rich and flavored.
Pecans: The OG Southern nut, pecans offers a delightful crunch that contrasts all that creaminess.
Vanilla Extract: Honeying these potatoes and a warming flavor with an aromatic note, vanilla sweetens them.
Eggs: These serve to bind the sweet potato mixture, holding it together and providing structure without making it too dense.
