For the meringue:
3
egg whites
½
cup granulated sugar
½
teaspoon cream of tartar
1. Bake or boil sweet potatoes until very tender. Put the flesh of the hot,
cooked sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Insert the mashed
potato attachment into the hand blender. Select High and evenly mash
the sweet potatoes using a gentle up-and-down motion. Add the salt,
pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg to the bowl and continue mashing until
ingredients are incorporated. Transfer to a 1¼-quart baking dish.
2. In a separate clean, large mixing bowl, combine egg whites, sugar and
cream of tartar. Remove the mashed potato attachment and insert the
whisk attachment. Select Low and whisk meringue ingredients together,
gradually increasing speed to Medium, until the mixture has tripled
in volume and medium peaks have been achieved, about 3 minutes.
Evenly spread mixture over sweet mashed potatoes.
3. Broil on High until meringue becomes lightly golden, about 1½ to 2
minutes.
4. Serve immediately.
