Candied Sweet Potatoes

"You only need five ingredients to whip up these skillet sweet potatoes, and no oven is required! Fresh sweet potatoes are simmered slowly on the stovetop in brown sugar and butter and sprinkled with chopped pecans for a sweet side dish, perfect for serving at Thanksgiving, Sunday suppers or for weeknight dinners. Sweet potatoes are a classic side dish traditionally served at Thanksgiving dinner, often times in the form of casserole. But sometimes, casseroles can be complicated. So, I decided to make it simple by using fresh sweet potatoes and cooking them in a pan on the stovetop with brown sugar and butter, that's it. By cooking them slowly, over low heat, the potatoes are not overcooked or mushy and the time allows the gooey sauce to form."
