Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 large sweet potatoes)
• 1 unbaked pie crust (9-inch)
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes:
   • Boil sweet potatoes whole in skin for 40 to 50 minutes, or until done. Run cold water over the sweet potatoes, and remove the skin.
   • Mash sweet potatoes in a bowl with butter; set aside.
2. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Mix Pie Filling:
   • In a large bowl, beat together the mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
4. Prepare Pie Crust:
   • Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges as desired.
5. Fill Pie Crust:
   • Pour the sweet potato mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
6. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 55 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. The pie should be slightly jiggly in the center but will set as it cools.
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the pie to cool on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
8. Optional Garnishes:
   • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for extra flavor.

Sweet potato pie is a delightful dessert that’s rich in flavor and creamy in texture, making it a perfect treat for any occasion, especially during the holiday season. Enjoy your baking!
