Directions:
Scrub and peel sweet potatoes. Cut off and discard woody portions and ends. Cut potatoes into cubes. Cook, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 25-35 minutes or until tender. Drain.

Combine hot sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, milk, egg, the 3 tablespoons butter, and vanilla. With a wooden spoon, stir to break up potatoes but not completely mash them.

Put mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish. Combine brown sugar and flour; cut in the 2 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecan pieces and sprinkle crumb mixture on top of potatoes.

Bake, uncovered, in a 350º oven about 25 minutes or until set. Garnish with pecan halves if desired.
