This is one of my favorite cheesecakes. The original recipe was on Food Network but I've made a few changes. It is really delicious. It looks like a lot of steps but it's easy to make.You might want to mix the sweet potato filling without the egg,taste for seasonings,then add the egg and bake.The first time I made it I thought it had too spice,I added less cinnamon and nutmeg the next time I made it and my family liked it better.

    To assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese mixture in layers into the crust while adding spoonfuls of the Sweet Potato Pie Filling. Take a wooden skewer and crisscross the cake to create a marbled effect. Place the cheesecake in the oven. On the wire rack under the cheesecake, place a pan filled three-quarters full of water so the cheesecake crust does not double-bake. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, for 30 to 45 minutes.
