CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH PECANS
This is my favorite style of a Thanksgiving or Christmas time sweet potato side dish, since I'm not really a big fan of whipped sweet potatoes with marshmallow toppings. This is a very sweet dish (candied) but more to my liking. The spice and pecans add a whole new level of taste and texture.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until you can easily pierce them halfway through with a sharp knife, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and allow to cool until easily handled, at least 20 minutes. Leave the oven on.
- Meanwhile, mix brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, pecans, and pumpkin pie spice for topping in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Peel the cooled sweet potatoes and cut crosswise into 3/4-inch thick slices.
- Lightly grease a 9x13-inch ceramic or glass baking dish with 2 teaspoons butter. Spread potato slices in a single layer in the dish and spoon a bit of topping over each slice. Add remaining potato slices in a second layer and sprinkle with remaining topping.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, about 20 minutes. Use a serving spoon to dish this out, making sure to get to some of the sauce from the bottom for each serving.
