How to Make Sweet Potato Custard Pie

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought).
In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and the zest of 1 orange.
Add 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 medium). Make sure to grate the sweet potatoes just before adding them to the mixture for a smoother texture.
Stir in 1 cup whole milk and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy slightly warm or cold!
