Wash potatoes and leave peelings on.

Start to preheat oven to 375\u00b0F.
Remove peelings with edge of spoon, either thinly slice or mash potatoes with backside of a large spoon.
Spray a regular cupcake pan with non stick spray for baking.
Line each cupcake hole with pie crust (use a round cookie cutter or upside down glass to cut the dough in circle).
Fill pasty to 1/4 inch of top with slices or mashed potato.
Combine sugar, spices, evaporated milk and water in a jar with a lid. Shake to blend well and cover sweet potatoes with the blend. Place a \"dollop\" of butter (about 2 teaspoons) on top of each pie.
