1/2 cup pure maple syrup, plus

7 tablespoons butter
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
4 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into about 1/4-inch slices (you can slice them larger but you might have to increase the cooking time slightly)

Set oven to 400 degrees F.
Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
In a large pot bring water with about 1 tablespoon salt to a full boil.

Arrange the potatoes in the buttered dish, overlapping slighty.
Sprinkle with about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt.
Pour the maple syrup over potatoes in the dish.
Dot with about 6 tablespoons butter.
Cover with foil, and bake until the potatoes are ALMOST tender (about 25-30 minutes).
In a small bowl or cup mix the flour and brown sugar together.
Add in 7 tablespoons butter; rub together with fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; mix in pecans.
Remove the dish from oven and sprinkle the pecan mixture over over the potatoes.
