Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup evaporated milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 crust unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot filled with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.

Step 4

Add the butter to the mashed sweet potatoes while they are still warm, mixing until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish if using a homemade crust. If using a store-bought crust, remove it from its packaging and place it into the dish as directed. Crimp the edges if desired.

Step 7

Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. The filling will firm up as it cools.

Step 10

Serve your sweet potato pie at room temperature or chilled. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
