Sweet Potato Pecan Pie

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup dark corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 14 cups whole pecans
• 1 cup sweet potato, cooked and finely mashed
• 1 deep dish pie shell

1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
2. In a large bowl beat the eggs, sugar, corn syrup, margarine/butter, and vanilla until well blended.
3. Beat in sweet potatoes until well mixed.
4. (Note*) The secret to having the pecans 'float' on top of the pie is to use an electric mixer to mix all of the ingredients up to this point.
5. Stir in the pecans by hand until pecans are nicely coated with the filling.
6. Pour into pie crust.
7. Bake 50-55 minutes until a knife or toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. You may want to rotate at the 30 minute mark to ensure even baking.
