Directions:
Cut and boil the sweet potatoes. When soft, rinse in cold water and remove skins (they should slip off easily).
After draining the sweet potatoes, mash well. I like a few chunks in mine, but you can also whip them with a mixer if you like them without lumps. Stir in well the egg-sugar mixture above. Put this mixture into the greased pan.
Sprinkle topping over the sweet potatoes. If you like your potatoes sweeter, add another 1/8-1/4 cup brown sugar on top. You can also add additional pecans.
