Steps:
- Place a large pot over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes, coconut milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne, cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat and remove lid. Let cool until a bit safer to handle - I give it about 5 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooling a bit, make the maple-pecan drizzle. Place the pecans and 1/3 cup maple syrup in a small saucepan and set over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until warm and bubbling, a couple of minutes (depending on your stove top). Remove from heat.
- Using a hand mixer, whip the potatoes, starting on low speed and then gradually increasing to high speed to help decrease splatter. Be careful! Note that if you have a non-stick pan, you may want to transfer the potatoes to a bowl first so you don't risk getting any teflon in your potatoes. Teflon potatoes bad!
- Taste the potatoes and add more salt if desired. Scoop into a serving bowl and spoon the warm maple-pecan drizzle over the top. Serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes. Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid any potatoes that have blemishes or bruises.
- Pierce the potatoes before baking. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender. You can check this by inserting a fork into the center of the potato. If the fork goes in easily, the potato is done.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling them. This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes in half. This will help to create a clean cut and prevent the potatoes from crumbling.
- Scoop out the potato flesh. You can use a spoon or a melon baller to do this.
- Mash the potato flesh until it is smooth. You can use a potato masher or a fork to do this.
- Add your desired mix-ins. This could include butter, milk, salt, pepper, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, honey, or marshmallows.
- Top the potatoes with pecans and coconut.
- Bake the potatoes until the topping is golden brown.
