Mash cooked sweet potatoes:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high. Add sweet potatoes, and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain sweet potatoes, and transfer to a large bowl; mash using a potato masher until mostly smooth. Let cool 15 minutes.

Add evaporated milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, egg, 3/4 cup of the brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt to sweet potato mixture; whisk until well blended. Lightly grease a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with butter; pour sweet potato mixture into dish.

Make pecan topping:

Place pecans, butter, and remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; mix using hands until mixture resembles a coarse streusel. Sprinkle evenly over sweet potato mixture.

Bake casserole:

Cover with aluminum foil, and bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Remove foil, and bake until set, about 15 minutes.

Serve:

Let cool 10 minutes. Serve.
