This festive casserole consists of two parts that can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated, then combined in a pan on the day of serving, baked in the oven, and served warm. The bottom layer is made of tender sweet potato puree. You can cook it perfectly smooth or leave it chunky if you prefer texture. The top layer is a topping of pecans, butter, brown sugar, and flour, which, after baking, becomes a wonderfully crisp streusel that pairs beautifully with the casserole base. This gratin can be served as a sweet dessert to end a holiday meal.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Place the sweet potatoes on a rack and bake until tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. When done, let the sweet potatoes cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a fork into a large bowl. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F).
- Add sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla, and salt to the bowl with the sweet potatoes. Mash everything with a potato masher until you have a puree with small chunks; it doesn't have to be perfectly smooth.
- Now, in a separate bowl, mash the brown sugar, nuts, flour, and butter with a pastry knife or fork until thoroughly combined. The mixture should be crumbly.
- Spread the mashed sweet potatoes in a 14-cup oval baking dish and sprinkle with the topping. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
