Eighteen years ago I got a recipe out of a magazine titled Virtue. Over the years I've changed a few things to make it my own. It is the most requested dish that I make so I thought I would share it with you.
FRENCH NUT YAMS
3 cups mashed yams or sweet potatoes
2 eggs
1/3 cup margarine
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla
TOPPING
2 cups brown sugar
2/3 cup flour
3/4 cup margarine
2 cups chopped pecans
In a large mixing bowl, combine yams or sweet potatoes, eggs, margarine, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla. Place in a well greased 9×9 casserole.
Combine topping ingredients in a saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring,until butter melts. Spread topping over yam or sweet potato mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

HAPPY EATING!
This is by far our families favorite. I highly recommend it!
Can’t wait for Thanksgiving!
