How to Make My Mama's Sweet Potato Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prick the thawed pie crust all over with a fork. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
- Boil or bake the cubed sweet potatoes until tender (about 20-25 minutes boiling, or 45-60 minutes baking).
- Once cool enough to handle, peel and mash the sweet potatoes using a hand mixer or potato masher until completely smooth.
- Add the softened butter to the mashed sweet potatoes and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the sugar, mixing until incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and spices. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in the milk until just combined.
- Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
