List of Ingredients




1 # sweet potato
1/2 C butter, softened
1 C white sugar
1/2 C milk
2 eggs
1/2 t ground nutmeg
1/2 t ground cinnamon
1 t vanilla extract
1 (9") unbaked pie crust (storebought or homemade)


Recipe



Boil sweet potato whole in skin for 40 to 50 minutes, or until done.
Run cold water over the sweet potato, and remove the skin. Break apart sweet potato in a bowl. Add butter, and mix well with mixer.
Stir in sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Pour filling into unbaked pie crust.
Bake at 350 degrees F 55 to 60 minutes. When the entire pie has puffed up like a souffle, it's time to take it out. It will sink down as it cools. Make sure you let it cool before you serve.
