4 pounds sweet potatoes 6 large
nonstick cooking spray
1/4 cup butter melted
6 tablespoons maple syrup for potatoes
6 tablespoons heavy cream or half-and-half
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon scant
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3 eggs beaten
1 1/2 cups pecans
1/4 cup maple syrup for topping
flaky sea salt optional

1
Poke holes all over sweet potatoes with a fork, then place them on a large microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are very fork-tender. (Microwave in batches if necessary.) Carefully remove plate from the microwave and allow sweet potatoes to rest for about 15 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
2
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F.
3
Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
4
Scoop sweet potato flesh from the skins and place in a large mixing bowl. Discard skins. Add butter, maple syrup, cream, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mash the mixture with a potato masher or mixer until it is smooth and creamy. Add eggs to the bowl. Stir to combine with sweet potato mixture until smooth.
5
Transfer sweet potato mixture to prepared casserole dish and smooth mixture into an even layer.
6
Place pecans and maple syrup in a bowl and stir to coat nuts. Sprinkle nut mixture evenly over sweet potatoes. Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt, if desired.
7
Bake casserole for 30-35 minutes on the middle rack of oven, until nuts are toasted and dish is gently bubbling at the edges.
8
Check to see that casserole is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
9
Allow sweet potato casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
