3 large sweet potatoes
1/4 c. sweetened condensed milk
1/4 - 1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 stick butter
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
3 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
Scrub and poke the sweet potatoes with a fork all over. Microwave for 5 minutes on both sides or until cooked through.
When cool enough to handle cut the potatoes in half and scrape put the centers leaving the skins intact. Mash the potatoes. Using a hand whisk, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, condensed milk, sugar, butter, spice, egg whites, and vanilla. Whisk it all really well, taste and adjust seasonings keeping in mind you want it a little sweeter than you want it to taste after it's cooked.
Spoon back into the skins. Top with the nut mix, and bake at 350 for 35 minutes until the nuts are cooked.
Nut topping:
3 Tbsp butter
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. pecans
Dash pie spice and cayenne pepper
Combine all together. You can replace the nuts with oats if you have some one in you family who doesn't like nuts, or half nuts half oats to suit what you have on hand.
