Method
Boil the sweet potatoes in a large pot of water for 18 minutes until tender, then drain well.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Mash the sweet potatoes with half the butter, half the brown sugar, the milk, eggs and vanilla until smooth.
Spread the mixture into a baking dish.
Rub the remaining butter, brown sugar, flour and salt together with the pecans to make a crumbly streusel.
Scatter the streusel over the sweet potato mixture and bake for 25 minutes until set and golden.
