How to Make Sweet Potato Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 (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:

1. First, boil the sweet potato whole with the skin on for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until it is soft. Then run cold water over it and remove the skin.
2. Break the cooked sweet potato into a bowl. Add butter and mix well with a mixer.
3. Add sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix until the mixture is smooth.
4. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let it cool. The pie will puff up like a soufflé and then settle as it cools.
