Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Sweet Potato (1 pound) | 1 |
| Butter, Softened | 1/2 cup |
| White Sugar | 1 cup |
| Milk | 1/2 cup |
| Eggs | 2 |
| Ground Nutmeg | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Ground Cinnamon | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Vanilla Extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Unbaked Pie Crust (9-inch) | 1 |
Instructions:
- Cook Sweet Potato: Boil the sweet potato whole in its skin for 40 to 50 minutes, or until done.
- Peel and Mash: Run cold water over the sweet potato, and remove the skin. Break apart the sweet potato in a bowl.
- Combine Ingredients: Add butter to the sweet potato and mix well with a mixer. Stir in sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.
- Fill Crust: Pour the sweet potato filling into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake: Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. The pie will puff up like a souffle and then sink down as it cools.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the pie cool completely before serving.
