Steps

1. Cook and mash 6 cups sweet potatoes. Beat in egg, brown sugar and melted butter. Add the salt and cinnamon. If potatoes seem dry, beat in some orange juice - up to a cup - or none. It needs to be moist and fluffy. Put in a 2-quart casserole dish. Refrigerate until you need to bake it. Before baking, arrange 1 cup of pecan halves and drizzle with 1/4 cup melted butter. Bake uncovered 375F for 20 minutes or more. Just heat all the way through.
