Ingredients
* 1 pound sweet potatoes
* 2/3 cup softened butter
* 1 1/4 cups sugar
* 1/2 cup milk
* 2 eggs
* 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 pie crust

How to Make It: This process is best started by boiling your sweet potatoes. Allow them to sit in boiling water for about an hour and then rinse them off with cold water. The skins should now easily peel off and you should have access to the softened potato inside. Now, begin to mash the sweet potato and butter until well blended. Then add in your milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg until they are smooth. This can either be done by hand or you can use a mixer on a low setting. Be sure that you do not over mix your pie filling.

When this is done, you are going to fill the crust you have with the mixture. Make sure that you smooth the mixture to ensure that it bakes evenly in your shell. Then place it in an over that has been preheated to 350 degrees. Then allow it to bake for about an hour or until you can stick a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.

Once done, you can serve it warm with a helping of whipped cream on top or you can choose to serve it chilled. The choice is up to you, but you are going to find that in terms of country recipes this is going to be one of the most delicious country foods that you are going to end up serving to your family. In fact, you might even consider making it during the holiday season in place of your traditional pumpkin pie since it holds a lot of the same flavors.
