Ingredients:
2 to 3 large purple sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and chopped
3/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
Pinch of ground cardamom

Garnish:
1-3 tablespoons toasted pecans, chopped

Directions:
Place potatoes in a large pot and fill with water. Place pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil potatoes until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Drain potatoes and place back into the pot. Add coconut oil and salt and mash with a potato masher or with an electric hand mixer until desired consistency has been achieved. Stir in maple syrup, cinnamon, and cardamom. Season with salt to taste.

Scoop mashed sweet potatoes into a large bowl, finish with a sprinkle of pecans, and serve.

Serves 4 to 6.
