In some parts of the American South, sweet potato pie is the quintessential Thanksgiving dessert. In others, pecan pie is de rigueur. This recipe mashes the two together with a custardy spiced sweet potato filling and glossy pecan topping. (Beat that, pumpkin pie.)The key is to purée the sweet potatoes just enough so that they retain a bit of texture-we're not looking for baby food here.
