Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 9-inch prepared pie crust
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a large pot of boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
Step 3
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth using a potato masher or a hand mixer.
Step 4
Stir in the unsalted butter while the sweet potatoes are still hot, allowing it to melt completely.
Step 5
Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Step 6
Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared 9-inch pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before slicing and serving. Optionally, serve with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish.
