Sweet Potato Pie

  • 4 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 store-bought pie crust (or your can just line a pan with vanilla wafers instead)
  • 1/2 cup milk

Boil the potatoes until tender. When you stick a fork in them it should go in easy. You don’t want them to fall apart. Let the potatoes cool and then peel them.

Put the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and mash them thoroughly with a potato masher. Melt the butter and pour it and the other ingredients in the bowl of potatoes. Stir until well mixed.

Whether you used a ready made pie crust or just cookies, pour the potatoes mixture into the crust.

Put into an oven preheated to 375 degrees. Cook for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry.
