Very good old Southern recipe. Got this from my mom. I loved her pies. She didn't make cakes very often. A real easy and delicious pie.

How to Make Sweet Potato Pecan Pie

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350. In a large mixing bowl thoroughly combine mashed potatoes, sugars, salt, spices, and flavorings.
Add eggs, beat vigorously until well combined. (You can beat with an electric mixer)
Stir in pecans.
Pour mixture into pie shell.
Bake for 45 min at 350. Then reduce heat and bake for an additional 10 minutes at 325.

You can use Splenda Blends for baking. For the brown & granulated sugars. I have used them.
