In a mixing bowl, beat potatoes, shortening, water and egg. Combine dry ingredients; add to potato mixture and mix well. Stir in raisins and pecans. Pour into a greased 8-cup fluted tube pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners sugar.
Yield 8-10 servings.
An 11x7x2-in baking pan can be used instead of the tube pan; bake for 30-35 minutes.
