I used four real sweet potatoes as opposed to the cans. I boiled them and then just mashed and added to the recipe. I had to add a little more syrup because of this. My family loved it!

An easy way to jazz up a can of sweet potatoes. I have made this several times with and without the pecans.

I changed this a little. I used fresh sweet potatoes and boiled them. I did use the butter and syrup but as I was whipping them I added some brown sugar and cinnamon. They were so smooth and yummy. My kids (6 and 2) absolutely loved them.

I wanted a fairly easy recipe for Thanksgiving and this was great. I used a pecan flavor syrup and microwave the raw sweet potatoes a few minutes.It was delicious.

I made this for Thanksgiving. I had a lot of good comments on it. It was good, but wasn't the best. I wouldn't say it was bland, but at the same time, it seemed to be missing something. If I make it again, i will "doctor" it up, with cinnamon, maybe sugar.

I made this for a luncheon at work and EVERYONE loved it!! I toasted my pecan pieces (the fine "cookie" pieces) in a skillet with a dash of cinnamon and sugar before sprinkling them on the top.

I thought it a little bland so I added cinnamon to taste and a little more butter.
