1
Prepare Sweet Potatoes
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces).
2
Boil Sweet Potatoes
Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender.
3
Toast Pecans
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and chop coarsely.

4
Drain and Mash
Once the sweet potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the sweet potatoes until smooth.
5
Add Ingredients
Stir in the butter, maple syrup, milk, salt, and black pepper into the mashed sweet potatoes until well combined.
6
Incorporate Pecans
Fold in the toasted pecans until evenly distributed throughout the mash.
