Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the topping:

  • 1/4 cup butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Boil sweet potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
