Candied Sweet Potatoes is one of my most favorite side dishes for the holidays. I absolutely love this dish because it is almost like a dessert. The guys prefer mashed potatoes and so we usually have some leftover after the big dinner. I don’t mind at all because I get to eat more of it over the next day or two.

Sweet Potato – a Must-Have for the Holidays

For me personally, a sweet potato side dish is a must-have for the holidays. Last year I made a sweet potato casserole topped with chopped pecans surrounded by mini marshmallows. It was good but I found the marshmallow topping a little too sweet. This year, I decided to give it another try by changing the topping. Hence, this Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Crumb Topping.

Creamy Sweet Potato Casserole perfect for the holidays.

Egg Free Recipe

This recipe is not exactly a new creation as I have seen it numerous times on the internet. However, most do come with eggs. My version on the other hand, has no eggs and there is no additional sugar in the sweet potatoes. The absence of the two makes the dish a little lighter which is great. I only used a quarter cup brown sugar in the topping to bind it together and to provide flavor. The chopped pecans provide crunch and texture. The end result was like eating a sweet potato cobbler. Very tasty and satisfying indeed!

It made me happy that this time round, both Ro-Taro and Ro-Jiro took a good portion each on top of the mashed potatoes. The pecan crumb topping must have enticed them. 😉 Whatever the case, we had a wonderful dinner and great fellowship around the table. Always so good to have the boys home – that and so much more to be thankful for this season. I hope yours was a good one too!

    I’m looking for a healthier Sweet Potato Casserole recipe. Yours has no eggs and no sugar in the base. I haven’t seen that yet so I will try it.

    Thanks for publishing it!

    This recipe is absolutely outstanding, I had never tried it before yesterday and took a big chance bringing it to our family Thanksgiving but I’m so glad I did. Everyone raved about it and requested the recipe. I needed a recipe that was eggless and the fact that there are no eggs in this recipe goes completely unnoticed. I wonder if the potatoes could be baked first, rather than peeled, cubed and boiled? I didn’t want to deviate from the instructions for the first time making this recipe. Regardless it’s worth your time. It’s a new favorite. Oh, and my daughter made it for her little ones and omitted the pecans and used Ritz crackers instead. She said this was also delicious!

      Wow, thank you for the kind comment! I am so glad to hear you and your family enjoyed this delicious casserole. It is one of my favorites. Yes, you can bake the sweet potatoes instead of boiling it. Baking does take longer because you need the sweet potatoes to be very tender. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
