Clark Family Sweet Potato Casserole

Golden sweat crunchiness. A holiday side that will have them asking for the recipe. When families come together for a holiday, traditional dishes from all sides of the family help make the event special. This is a recipe brought into our family from my son-in-laws family for our first Thanksgiving together and has been a staple ever since.
