Boil 1 pound of sweet potatoes whole in their skins for 40 to 50 minutes.

Remove the skins from the sweet potatoes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl and break them up a bit with a fork.

Add 1 stick (1/2 cup) of softened butter and beat it well with an electric mixer.

Stir in 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Beat the filling on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.

Pour the filling into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.

Place the pie on a baking sheet for easy handling.

Bake the pie for 55 to 60 minutes.

To check for doneness, insert a knife in the center; if it comes out clean, the pie is done. If not, bake for another 5 minutes and check again.

The pie will puff up like a souffle but will sink down as it cools.

Decorate the sweet potato pie with whipped topping and pecans just before serving.
