Ingredients

5 pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup light brown sugar
1 ¾ teaspoons salt, or to taste
¾ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups warm milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

Topping:

1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold unsalted butter
1 cup pecans, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place potatoes on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until very tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly, about 5 minutes. Peel.
Transfer peeled sweet potatoes into a large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with beaters or a whisk attachment. Mix on low speed to begin mashing them. Add 1/2 cup butter and mix until absorbed. Add white sugar, honey, brown sugar, 1 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg; mix until thoroughly blended. Add eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly add the heated milk. Taste and adjust salt and nutmeg if needed.
Grease a 9x13x2-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon softened butter and pour potato mixture into it.
Pour brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for topping into a mixing bowl and mix well. Use your fingers to work the chilled butter into the mixture until it resembles oatmeal with some pea-sized pieces of butter in it. Stir in the pecan pieces and mix well. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the sweet potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown and crisp and sweet potatoes are set, but still slightly loose in the center, 30 to 45 minutes.
