Ingredients
1 (1-pound) sweet potato, with skin
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
Instructions
Place whole sweet potato in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 40–50 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Remove sweet potato, run under cold water, peel, and discard skin. Mash sweet potato flesh in a mixing bowl.
Add softened butter and beat with a mixer until smooth.
Add sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until filling is smooth and creamy.
Pour filling into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before serving.
Notes
For an ultra-smooth filling, blend all ingredients in a food processor.
The pie will puff up during baking but settle as it cools.
Best served chilled or at room temperature with whipped cream.
Can be made a day ahead — refrigerate once fully cooled.
