Is it a side dish? Is it a dessert? All we know is it's really good. Let's hope there's leftovers for breakfast.

Baked Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Crumb Topping

Scrub sweet potatoes and pierce with fork in several places. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for about 50 minutes, or until tender. Let stand about 20 minutes until cool enough to handle.

Remove and discard skins. In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and salt to taste. Mash with potato masher until slightly chunky or until desired consistency. Spoon into greased 9-by-13-inch baking pan.

Combine flour and 1/2 cup brown sugar in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add 1/4 cup butter, cut into small pieces, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle over potato mixture.

Bake at 375 degrees, covered, for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 25 minutes, or until crumb mixture is lightly browned.
