The Best Sweet Potatoes

What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Some people like dressing, some people are all about green bean casserole, and some people just come for the turkey. I really like it all, but what I look forward to the most are the sweet potatoes. I'm not talking about canned yams topped with melted marshmallows; I crave sweet potatoes baked to fluffy perfection, mashed with butter and sugar, and topped with a crunchy pecan topping. Sweet enough for dessert but served as a side dish: this is the only sweet potato recipe you need.
