Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly.
Bake the sweet potatoes on the center rack until they are easily pierced with a knife, approximately 35 minutes. Allow them to cool, then peel and mash them in a large bowl.
In the bowl with the mashed sweet potatoes, add eggs, sugar, 1/4 cup butter, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly, then transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup butter, brown sugar, pecans, and flour. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix until it resembles a coarse meal. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until the pecan topping is golden brown and crisp, about 30 minutes.
