2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil.

4. Mash Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the sweet potato mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, combine chopped nuts, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly.
8. Add Topping: Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the sweet potato layer. If desired, add mini marshmallows on top for extra sweetness.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
