For an even richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of regular melted butter for the pecan topping. If you prefer a smoother casserole, use an electric mixer instead of a potato masher to mash the sweet potatoes. The candied pecan topping can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
