Absolutely delicious! I have made this recipe two years in a row now and it is always a hit, even with those who don’t like sweet potatoes! I use a bit more sugar, omit the nuts and at the end bake mini marshmallows on it (over top of the brown sugar). YUM!!

I forgot to add the flour to the nut mixture and it didn’t seem to make much difference. I did half nuts half marshmallows on mine and it was a hit at Thanksgiving!

Oh so yummy! A nice break from my usual marshmallow covered sweet potatoes. They were a hit at Thanksgiving. Thank you for posting!

Made this for a family dinner and it was my son-in-law’s favorite dish! (and this guy can cook, too) 
Great recipe – love that it uses fresh yams as opposed to canned.

Wow! I made this tonight for our Valentine’s dinner and it was fabulous!!! I wish I could go back in time before dinner so I could eat it again!

We tried this for Easter lunch to go along with ham. Everyone loved it. It was easy to make too. I actually put it together,except for the topping, on Saturday and cooked it when we got home from church.

This recipe is very similar to the one I learned when I first moved to the Deep South (USA). The one I use is a bit richer and sweeter, with 1 c sugar, 1/2 c butter, and 1 c milk for the same amount of mashed sweet potatoes. There is also melted butter in the brown sugar and pecan topping in mine. Some people think the recipe I use is too rich — it’s more like a dessert than a vegetable side dish. So, I’m going to try this one instead — it’s undoubtedly healthier.
And, yes, I agree with you – sweet potato dishes are so much better when you have to start out by cooking the potatoes and you do not smother them with marshmallows!

Annie, this is what I do every year for Thanksgiving, too. I make all side dishes the day before, all of my casserole dishes have plastic lids. I stack them, create a timeline as to when to put each dish into the oven. When the day is done I am not stressed or exhausted. The mess is created the night before and all cleaned up. I make the potatoes, meat and gravy on the Holiday from scratch. Oh, and the cranberry muffins are a must. I make the flour with the spices in it a week or 2 before so the flavors meld. Makes a more flavorful muffin! I also chop the cranberries, add the orange juice and the zest, then pop it into the freezer a week or so before. On Thanksgiving I then just have to assemble everything.

I don’t have a whole lot of experience with sweet potatoes but this looked so good. I’m making it later today and am wondering if I should bake or boil them first.
