3 1/2 cups cut-up sweet potatoes
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cup water

Cut potatoes into fairly small pieces and place in a deep dish. Combine sugar, flour and salt; add nutmeg and cinnamon; add to potatoes, along with water. Cut butter or margarine into pieces; place over potatoes. Cover with pastry. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes to one hour.
PASTRY FOR COBBLER: Combine flour and salt in a bowl; cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle ice water over surface. Toss with a fork until moistened. Gently press into a 4-inch circle on plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes.
Roll out dough, still covered, to a size that is 1-inch larger than the pie plate. Place crust on top of potatoes and dot with margarine.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Definitely cut the sweet potatoes up fine. I was kinda careless and left some pieces larger and they didn't cook enough. You could probably use canned in place of fresh sweet pots because I don't think they can overcook in the cobbler. The pastry crust was very good and flaky.
