These look amazing. Any suggestion on how much salt and pepper to put?

Ingredients

Mashed Sweet Potatoes:

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• salt to taste
• 3 to 3- 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes* peeled and chopped into large chunks, see note
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup milk or half and half

Topping;

• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 2 -3 cups mini marshmallows or more, if you'd like
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour for a sturdier streusel add and additional heaping tablespoon of flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Mashed Sweet Potatoes:

1. Frist, Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 2 or 2 1/2 quart casserole dish (preferably a rectangle or oval so there's a decent surface area for the topping; I use an 8x11) and set aside.
2. Then Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and boil until tender (about 7 minutes, depending on the size). 
3. Then Drain really well and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar and salt to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Use a hand mixer, if desired, to make them extra smooth. Taste the potatoes and add additional seasonings, if desired.
4. Next, Transfer the mashed potatoes to the prepared casserole dish. 
5. Then Place in the oven until heated through (if they're already warm it will only take a few minutes). While the sweet potatoes are heating, prepare the topping.

Topping:

1. Frist, In a medium bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt (I use a fork or rubber spatula to stir and mash the mixture), then mix in pecans.
2. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Top with half the marshmallows, 
3. Next, sprinkle half the streusel over the marshmallows (pinching pieces together with your fingers). 
4. Then Top with the other half of the marshmallows and sprinkle the remaining streusel over the top. Place back into the oven for 8-15 minutes, until the topping is bubbly and golden brown (keep an eye on it so the marshmallows don't burn). You can also place it under the broiler very briefly to add a little more color to the marshmallows. Note: the longer it is in the oven the more likely that the marshmallows will begin to melt. 
5. Then Allow to sit at room temperature for several minutes before serving.
6. Enjoy It !
