This is my take on my mama's sweet potato pie changing up the crust, spices and a couple of other ingredients. When growing up some of our older cousins use to call my mama by her 1st and middle name (Nancy Hughes). My siblings and I had a hard time saying it, so we called her Nanshoe. You can always find mama's pie on the table during the holiday season. I love you mama and I miss you everyday.

    Mash sweet potato in a bowl. Add orange juice, butter and mix well with mixer. Stir in brown sugar, sweet condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin spice and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Pour filling into cooled graham cracker pecan crust. Bake at 350° F 45 to 55 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Pie will puff up like a souffle, and then will sink down as it cools.
