Twice sweet baked potatoes

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Place sweet potatoes on cookie sheet and bake for 1 hour or until soft.
Split potatoes down the middle and remove the inside to a medium sized bowl. (use a melon baller if you have it)
In another bowl, add brown sugar, butter, cream cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and mash and pecans and mash with a fork. Dash of salt to taste.
Add this to the sweet potato pulp, meat, you know, the inside of the potato and put the mixture in the potato skins.

Bake for 15 minutes, add marshmallows on top for 1 min or until golden brown.
