Cook sweet potatoes

1

Chop potatoes into cubes, cover potatoes with water, and boil in a large pot until soft when pierced with a fork. Drain, and return to the pot.

Mash potatoes

2

Preheat oven to 400° F. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Mash the sweet potatoes, then add the maple syrup, raisins, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon.

Blend

3

Whip with an electric mixer or an immersion blender until smooth (if you don't have one, you can do this step by hand—it'll just take a little muscle!).

Prepare topping

Mix the brown sugar, pecans, and remaining 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a bowl. Spread the sweet potato mixture in the prepared baking dish.

Bake 

Sprinkle pecan mixture over the potatoes. Bake until hot and beginning to brown around the edges, about 15-20 minutes.
