Description
A beloved Southern dessert showcasing the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with a blend of spices.
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet Potatoes (about 2 cups mashed)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the oven rack in the center.
- Mash the roasted sweet potatoes in a bowl. Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until the mixture is smooth.
- Roll the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges nicely.
- Pour the sweet potato filling into the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
