00:11then go in with some cold butter, one egg,
00:13some pecans, splash of vanilla, and a little bit of salt.
00:16You're gonna bring this mixture to a boil,
00:17stirring constantly, and then you're gonna let it cook
00:20for about one minute.
00:21Then remove it from the heat and let it cool.
00:22Cut each potato in half,
00:23then you're gonna scoop out the flesh.
00:24Add in a couple tablespoons of butter
00:26so it can start melting.
00:27Add in just a little dash of cinnamon,
00:28and then mash the potatoes.

00:31Spoon this right back into the potatoes.
00:33Place the potatoes on the baking sheet
00:35and back into the oven they go.
00:36Just about 15 minutes, all it takes.
00:38Top it with more pecan pie effect.
00:41It's like sweet potato pie and pecan pie had a baby.

00:46and you get a little hint of the salt
00:48to balance out the sweet.
