Boil the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan of salted water. Drain, return to the pan; stir over medium heat until excess moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and syrup; mash until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large saute pan, heat the oil. Add the onions and garlic; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in the remaining ingredients.
Transfer sausage mixture to a buttered deep pie dish. Spoon mashed sweet potatoes over the sausage mixture, using a spoon to smooth the top.
Bake until heated through and potatoes begin to brown around edges, about 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
