Sweet Potato Pie

In honor of my friend Julie who is always so nice to post all of her yummy recipes out on her blog, I thought I would post this one. It is from another friend, Laurie, but I have made it for years now and although I don't really like sweet potatoes, everyone seems to really like this version.

5 Yams (cook until tender)
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1 egg, beaten
3 T. butter
1 t. vanilla

Mash all the above ingredients together and spread in a 2 qt. casserole dish. Top with the following:

1/2 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. flour
2 T. butter
1/2 c. pecans

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Enjoy.
