Not everyone is a fan of sweet potatoes, but this recipe is sure to win over even the toughest of critics. Buttery sweet potatoes are mashed with more butter, brown sugar, and a little buttermilk to make the potato mixture smooth, creamy, and flavorful. While this bakes in the oven, we prepare a crumble topping with a little flour, more brown sugar, and chopped pecans. This bakes into a beautiful brown crust over top of orangy bronze sweet potatoes. It needs to cool down in order to set up a bit before it’s ready to be served to the hungry crowd anticipating a great meal.
If you’ve been asked to bring a side dish to the party, you’ll definitely want to arrive bearing this delicious sweet potato crunch casserole.

With all of the savoriness going on our dinner plates, it’s sometimes nice to have a contrast of sweetness to keep the whole meal nice and balanced. A sweet potato crunch casserole will team up beautifully with a tart cranberry sauce, a side of bright green beans, and of course a generous helping of the main event: the turkey.
