Place 2 tablespoons Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread into 9-inch square baking pan. Place in oven 2-3 minutes or until melted. Remove pan from oven. Add chopped pecans; toss until well coated.

Place sweet potatoes and all remaining potato ingredients in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth.

Tip #1
To make ahead, prepare sweet potato mixture and pecans as directed. Do not bake sweet potato mixture. Cover; refrigerate. Bake as directed in 375°F oven. Just before serving, sprinkle with pecan garnish.
Tip #2
Substitute 2 (29-ounce) cans sweet potatoes, drained, for the fresh sweet potatoes. Omit step 3 and beat the drained canned sweet potatoes directly with the other potato ingredients in step 4 before baking as directed.
