Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sweet potatoes peeled, cooked and mashed
  • 1 stick melted butter (1/2 cup)
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
  • 2 9" deep dish pie crusts or 2 regular pie crusts

Instructions

  • Cook sweet potatoes and drain well. Mash. Add potatoes to an electric stand mixer and beat until fluffy.
  • Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Place pie crust on a baking sheet. Add 2 cups of mix to each pie crust.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

Notes

All ovens cook differently. Start checking on your pies after 30 minutes. If it slightly jiggles slightly in the middle, it's done. If it sloshes, put it back into the oven for several more minutes.
