Sweet Potatoes with oatmeal streussel topping

Sweet Potatoes with Oatmeal Streusel Topping

Mike is in charge of making sweet potatoes every Thanksgiving. He made these on Thursday & they were amazing. For those of you who like your sweet potatoes to resemble a vegetable, this recipe is not for you {they tasted more like cupcakes}.
.
3 large sweet potatoes
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 stick butter, softened
1 t vanilla extract
.
Boil potatoes until tender. Remove skins when cooled. Put into a large bowl and whip until fluffy. Add remaining ingredients. Pour into a greased casserole dish & top with Streusel topping. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
.
Remove the casserole from the oven. Immediately spread the marshmallows over the top. Let this sit for about 10 minutes, until melted. Serve.
.
Oatmeal Streusel Topping
.
1/2 cup rolled oats
4 T dark brown sugar
2 T all-purpose flour
1/4 t ground cinnamon
4 T cold butter
.
Make the oatmeal streusel by grinding the rolled oats to a fine flour using a food processor. A blender will also work. Combine the oat flour with brown sugar, flour & cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry knife or a fork until you have a crumbly mixture with pea-size bits. Sprinkle this oatmeal streusel over the sweet potato mixture
