 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      small         Sweet potatoes -- 3/4 pound
    1      medium        Russet potatoes -- baking type
      1/2  cup           Butter
    1      cup           Brown sugar -- packed
      1/2  teaspoon      Nutmeg; fresh -- grated
    3      large         Eggs -- beaten
    1 1/4  cups          Evaporated milk
      1/2  teaspoon      Vanilla extract
    1                    9″ Pie crust -- unbaked
 
 Place all of the well-scrubbed potatoes in a 3-quart saucepan. Cover with
 cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and
 cook until potatoes are very soft, about 20-30 minutes. Drain and when cool
 enough to handle, peel. In medium bowl, combine potatoes, butter, brown
 sugar and nutmeg.
 Using a potato masher, cream the potatotes until very smooth. In small
 bowl, beat eggs, 1 cup evaporated milk and vanilla together. Beat this
 mixture into the potatoes. Mix thoroughly. Pour into piecrust and drizzle
 the remaining 1/4 cup of milk on top. Bake 15 minutes in a preheated 450~
 oven then turn heat to 325~ and continue baking for 30 minutes or more
 until the filling is set.
