Sweet Potato Mash
Topping
For the Mash
Place sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with 2-3 inches of water.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Boil until completely tender.
Drain sweet potatoes.
Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl and add milk, butter/oil, syrup, salt, vanilla, and egg.
Mash or use an immersion blender to mix until smooth.
Pour mash into an oiled 8 × 8 or 2-quart baking dish and smooth the surface.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F and make the topping.
For the Topping
In a medium bowl, combine pecans, butter/oil, syrup, cinnamon, and salt.
Sprinkle over the sweet potato mash.
Cover the dish with foil and bake 20 minutes at 375°F degrees.
Remove foil and bake another 20-25 minutes. If pecans begin to brown too quickly, simply cover with foil gain.
