PAUL PRUDHOMME'S SWEET POTATO PECAN PIE
This recipe came to The Times in 1983 from Paul Prudhomme, the chef who helped put the cooking of Louisiana on the American culinary map. Like its traditional pecan pie cousin, this is very sweet, so serve it with a little Chantilly cream on top.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add beaten egg and milk; beat about 2 minutes. Stir in flour to moisten ingredients. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and shape into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour.
- Roll out dough into 14-inch circle on lightly floured wax paper, or on a lightly floured work surface. Transfer to a deep 9-inch pie plate; remove wax paper if using. Press pastry into plate and flute edges.
- Heat oven to 300 degrees.
- Make the sweet potato filling: In a large bowl, combine potato, butter, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, beaten egg, heavy cream and sugar. Beat at medium speed until mixture is smooth. Spread on bottom of pie crust.
- Make the pecan filling: Sprinkle sweet potato filling with pecans. In another bowl, combine sugar, eggs, melted butter, corn syrup, salt, cinnamon and vanilla and beat well. Pour over pecans.
- Transfer pie to oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Cool.
- Make the chantilly cream: Whip heavy cream with sugar, orange liqueur and Cognac. Top each slice of pie with a dollop of cream.
