Step 1

Drain sweet potatoes and mash with milk and vanilla extract. Spread in the bottom of a casserole dish. I used a 7 x 11 inch casserole. Melt the butter and mix together with the brown sugar and crushed cornflakes.

Step 2

Spread over the sweet potatoes in the baking dish. Sprinkle on pecan pieces. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 25 to 35 minutes. You can turn on broiler for 2 minutes to toast pecans after baking. Makes about 6 servings.
