Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425° F.
  2. Next, place sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed) in a medium saucepan and add water to cover. Bring it to a boil. Reduce heat and cook them, uncovered, until tender, 20-25 minutes.
  3. Drain potatoes and discard them in a large bowl. Mash until very smooth (use a hand mixer to be more efficient) and let them cool to room temperature.
  4. Then, just add butter and mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
  5. Add sugar, milk, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt; beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Place the pie crust in the prepared baking pan and add sweet potato filling.
  7. Next, bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 40 minutes.
  8. Finally, remove from the oven and let cool before serving.

Notes

*Pie will be puffed up like a soufflé when you remove it from the oven but will deflate as it cools.

**I decorated my pie with some pecan nuts for a more pleasant look. Also, you can mix some heavy cream with powdered sugar to create a nice and fluffy cream to use for decorating.
