1. Prepare the pastry and line a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the dough and crimp the edges as desired. Place the pie shell in the refrigerator for 60 minutes. This will help control shrinkage during the blind bake.
2. Preheat oven to 425F. Line the chilled pastry with two sheets of heavy duty foil, then fill with 2 cups dried beans or pie weights. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, beans or weights and return the pastry to the oven. Bake until light golden brown, about 10 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350F.
3. Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and place on a double layer of paper towels in the microwave. Cook at full power for 5 minutes then turn each potato over and cook another 5 minutes or until tender, but not mushy. Cool the potatoes for 10 minutes then cut each one in half crosswise. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon and transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Discard the skins. You should have 2 cups of flesh. Add 2 tablespoons butter and mash with a fork while the potatoes are still warm. A few small lumps of potato are fine.

1. To roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Poke sweet potatoes with a fork a few times, then place on baking sheet lined with foil. Roast for 45 minutes or until knife tender. Turn down oven to 350 degrees F and set sweet potatoes aside to cool off.
2. To make the crust: Place pecans, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the nuts begin to become very crumbly and look like wet sand; this should take less than 1 min. Next add the melted butter and process again. I like to taste the crust at this point to see if I may need to add more salt.
3. Dump the mixture into a 9 inch pie pan and press crust to the edges evenly with your fingertips. Bake for 10-12 minutes, being careful not to overbake. I usually take mine out at 10 minutes.
4. To make the filling: While the crust is baking, you can start making the filling. Scoop filling out of cooled roasted sweet potatoes and peel away skin. Place in a food processor and process until somewhat smooth and fibers are removed.
