Sweet Potato Pie

I've been served Sweet Potatoe Pie before and really love it.  I've never made it before and no longer live near the acquaintance who made it for us, so I googled and found this recipe to try which sounds so good.  

It's also the first time I'm emailing my post to my blog.  So fun and handy!

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Combine sweet potatoes, brown sugar, butter, egg yolk, salt and spices in a large bowl.  Beat until light and fluffy.  Add evaporated milk.  Mix just enough to combine.  Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until foamy.  Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff.  Fold into large bowl.  Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.  Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake additional 45 to 50 minutes or until set.  Cool.  Top with whipped topping, if desired.
