- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- melted unsalted butter, about 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons + more for brushing the baking dish
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the sweet potatoes in a pot and pour water until potatoes are covered. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until very tender.
Peel the potatoes and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Mash with a potato masher. Let cool about 5-10 minutes.
Add in the powdered sugar, milk, beaten eggs, vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Combine well.
