Base
5 -6 sweet potatoes
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup margarine
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
chopped pecans (optional)

1
Boil or microwave potatoes until tender. Wait for them to cool enough so, that you can peel them. The peeling should slide right off.
2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3
Mash the potatoes.
4
Combine all the ingredients for the base.
5
Add them to the mashed potatoes and stir well.
6
After mixed, place in a casserole dish. I usually use an 8 x 14 rectangle. Depending on how little or how much you are making.
7
Combine ingredients for topping. Except marshmallows, if using them. The mixture should be kind of crumbly.
8
Spread evenly on top.
9
Place in oven and cook for 35 to 40 minutes.
10
When done spread marshmallows on top and put back in the oven for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
