4 med. sweet potatoes
1/2 tsp. salt
1 sm. ripe banana, mashed
1/2 c. chopped pecans
2 tbsp. butter
1/3 c. orange juice
Coconut, optional

Scrub and pierce the potatoes; bake at 375 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes or until tender. Cut a slice off top of each potato and scoop out the pulp, leaving skins intact. Mash potatoes with butter, salt, orange juice and banana. Spoon mixture into shells and top with the chopped nuts. Sprinkle lightly with coconut, if desired. Return to oven and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until heated through.
