Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Place sweet potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before peeling and placing into a large bowl.

Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.

Mash warm potatoes with butter, cream, vanilla, brown sugar, salt, 1 cup pecans, 1/2 cup maple syrup, and beaten eggs. Spread potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup pecans and 2 tablespoons maple syrup.

Bake in the preheated oven until thoroughly hot, 30 to 35 minutes.
