How To Make southern sweet potato pie

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350. Combine the potatoes, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, salt, and spices. Mix thoroughly. Add the milk and continue to mix. Pour the filling into a pie crust and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary based on your oven. Place the pie on a rack and cool.
  • Step 2
    Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

    NOTE: I would NOT use canned yams for this recipe. I would bake sweet potatoes and mash them.
