Sweet Potato Pie IX Recipe

Ingredients

3 sweet potatoes
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup evaporated milk
2 (9 inch) unbaked 9 inch pie crusts

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add sweet potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 30 minutes. Drain, cool, peel and mash. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, butter, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk and blend into the sweet potato mixture.

Pour into pie shells and bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until done.
