Heat oven to 400.
Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork, place on a baking sheet and bake til very tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool, then halve and scoop out the flesh (discard the skins).
Reduce oven to 350.
In a food processor, process the graham crackers til fine crumbs form. Add the butter, sugar, and 1/4 tsp of the salt and pulse til moistened. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake til dry and st, 10 to 12 minutes (if the crust puffs while baking, press it down gently). Let cool.
Wipe out the processor and add the sweet potato flesh, condensed milk, the rest of the ingredients and the remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Process til smooth, being careful to not overprocess. Pour the mixture into the crust and bake til set in the center, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool completely.
