Butter-Pecan Whipped Sweet Potatoes

Unlike, cubing and boiling the potatoes, baking or microwaving them retains the sweetness. Try plating the Maple-Glazed Salmon on the bed of sweet potatoes for a little gourmet flair. 
 
Ingredients:
 
•    4 sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
•    1 1/2 tablespoons butter
•    2 tablespoons fat-free milk
•    1/4 teaspoon salt
•    1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
 
Preparation:
 
Pierce each potato with a fork 3 to 4 times on each side. Wrap each potato in a damp paper towel. Microwave at HIGH 8 minutes, turning after 4 minutes. Cool slightly. Cut potatoes in half; scoop pulp into a bowl. Mash pulp.
 
Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook 3 minutes or until browned. Stir butter, milk, and salt into potato pulp. Top with pecans.
