Peel sweet potatoes, cube and season. Toss in olive oil, cover with foil and roast in the oven until soft. Put in bowl and mash roughly. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add grated ginger and chopped shallots; let sweat. Add thyme, then remove pan from heat and pour hot mixture over sweet potatoes and add the panko breadcrumbs, pecans and the beaten egg with a little sea salt and freshly ground peppercorns.
