If your pecans aren't already dry roasted, you can roast them easily by spreading them out on a baking sheet and baking for 5 minutes at 350 degrees. Since sweet potatoes come in all shapes and sizes, I opted to include a measurement of the potatoes already cooked and mashed rather than a total number of sweet potatoes to use. Microwave the potatoes until soft, then removed the skin and mash with a fork in a large bowl.
