Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease baking sheets.
Poke sweet potatoes with fork and bake on a foil covered baking sheet for 1 hour or until they are soft.
When the potatoes are cool, enough to handle, peel and place in a large mixing bowl, and mash until smooth.
Add eggs, sugar, butter or (1/4 cup butter + 1/4 cup coconut oil), vanilla, milk, and salt. Combine well with a mixer, then pour into the baking dish.
***Topping*** In a medium bowl , combine pecans, brown sugar, flour and butter. Spoon the mixure over the sweet potatoes in the baking dish, making an even layer.
Bake until slightly brown (40 minutes) — then let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
