Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and we start with the filling. Roast the potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet until it gets soft. It will take about an hour. Cut the potatoes in half and let it cool a little. Then peel them and mash with a masher or simply with a fork. In a large bowl mix the mashed potatoes with all the other ingredients: milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Beat it well until smooth. Grease the casserole dish and pour the potatoes into it.
