Steps:
- Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Add enough salt so that the water tastes like seawater. Bring to a boil and cook potatoes until fork tender and mashable, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a casserole dish.
- Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher. Add 1/2 the butter, 1/2 of the brown sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract; mix until well combined. Allow mixture to cool slightly, then add cream, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg. Taste and adjust spices to your liking. Mix in eggs until well combined. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish.
- Mix remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar with flour in a small bowl. Sprinkle pecans over the potato mixture, and then do the same with the brown sugar-flour mixture. Sprinkle remaining butter pieces on top of the casserole and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue to bake until topping is crispy, about 20 minutes longer. Serve once cooled.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Sweet potatoes with dark orange flesh, such as Garnet or Jewel, are the best choice for this casserole. They have a naturally sweet flavor that pairs well with the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Pierce the potatoes before baking: This helps the steam to escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: A fork should easily pierce the potatoes when they are done.
- Mash the potatoes until they are smooth: Use a potato masher or a ricer to get the smoothest texture.
- Add the flavorings: Be generous with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. These spices give the casserole its classic flavor.
- Top with a crunchy topping: The sugar-crusted topping is what makes this casserole so special. Be sure to use a dark brown sugar for the best flavor.
- Bake the casserole until the topping is golden brown: This will take about 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato casserole is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. This sugar-crusted sweet potato casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make version of the classic recipe. The sweet potatoes are mashed with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then topped with a crunchy sugar-crusted topping. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
