Ingredients:
- 1 pound sweet potato
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
Directions:
- Boil the sweet potato whole in its skin for 40 to 50 minutes or until fully cooked. Once done, run cold water over the sweet potato and carefully remove the skin.
- In a mixing bowl, break apart the sweet potato and add softened butter. Mix well with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes a smooth and velvety filling.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Pour the sweet potato filling into an unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. The pie will puff up like a soufflé and then settle as it cools.
