Put cubed potatoes into steamer basket and place steamer basket into a large pot of simmering water that is no closer than 2 inches from the bottom of basket. Allow to steam for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Mash with potato masher and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place sweet potatoes in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment. Add yogurt, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, yolks, and salt, to taste, and beat until well combined. Pour this batter into the pie shell and place onto a sheet pan. Sprinkle pecans on top and drizzle with maple syrup.

Steaming the potatoes is a perfect way to cook them without the becoming water logged! First time baking this, with a few minor alterations, and my family loved it. I added a tiny bit of ground clove, nutmeg, and vanilla. Also, I skipped the nuts on top. The pie took longer than the recipe to set so you do have to keep an eye on it. :
