2 med. sweet potatoes (about 1 c. when mashed)
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 sm. can evaporated milk

To prepare sweet potatoes, set oven at 350 degrees and bake potatoes for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until very soft. Cut off about 1 inch of the pointed end of the potato to eliminate some of the stringy fiber. Then peel and slice in about 1/2 inch slices, crosswise of the grain. Mash with a potato masher before adding the other ingredients.

When mixing the custard with an electric mixer, the rest of the little pieces of stringy fibers will cling to the beaters; therefore, getting rid of almost all of them. This is important for a smooth, creamy texture.
