🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This sweet potato pie is easy to make, if you are using fresh sweet potatoes, the longest part will be cooking your potatoes.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
1 (1lb.) sweet potato equals 1 cup of mashed sweet potatoes if you decide to not use canned sweet potatoes. The above pie was made by boiling a 1 lb. sweet potato for about 40 minutes until cooked. Then, immediately put under cold water to stop the cooking process, peel and mash for pie.
Step 2
Mash sweet potatoes in a large bowl and mix with butter, eggs, sugars, and milk using a mixer.
Step 3
Add spices, vanilla, flour and continue mixing. Pour into an unbaked pie shell and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 50 to 55 minutes until knife inserted into the pie comes out clean.
