This is so my favorite time of year. Not just for the autumn leaves, the colors and the crisp frosty air…the cozy indoors and the foods are also a favorite.

I was reminded of one of the family’s favorite foods, by a phone call from Miranda asking for a recipe, (Enric told her of Mama’s Sweet Potatoes), and she had to learn it.

After emailing her the recipe, I thought to share on my blog, I hope you try it!

Ingredients:

4 cups mashed sweet potatoes (pour off juice)
1 c. white sugar
1/2 stick of butter (room temperature, softened)
2 t. vanilla

Mix all of that together with potato masher
Spread into a pan, simular to a brownie pan.

In a bowl, mix with a fork the following:

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 c. flour
1/3 c. butter (softened)
1 c. chopped pecans.

Sprinkle that on the potato mixture in pan, bake at 325° for 40 miinutes, covered. Uncover the last 20 minutes and WATCH that it doesn’t become too brown.
