Preparation
For the topping, in a bowl combine the brown sugar, nuts, flour, and 1/4 cup of the melted butter, and stir together with a fork; set aside. Mix with a fork. In a large bowl, stir together the sweet potatoes, sugar, coconut, raisins, eggs, and vanilla. If the mixture seems too thick, stir in up to 1/4 cup heavy cream. Spoon into a large greased casserole.
