Scoop out sweet potato center, leaving a thin layer inside, and place in a medium bowl. Add milk and mash until smooth. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pineapple; mix well. Spoon potato mixture evenly into each potato shell and sprinkle with nuts. Place on baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
