½ cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces

½ cup chopped pecans

2. Place potato in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 12 minutes or until tender. Drain
3. Combine the half and half and next 4 ingredients (half and half through egg) in a large bowl stirring with a whisk. Add potato to egg mixture; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Spoon potato mixture into a 13x9 baking dish coated with cooking spray.
