Main Ingredients

  • 0.5 pound sweet potato, with skin
  • 0.25 cup butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust

Instructions
 

  • Place the sweet potato in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the sweet potato from the pot, run it under cold water, discard the skin, and break the flesh apart into a bowl. Add butter and mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
  • Add sugar, milk, egg, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 to 60 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.

Notes

For a twist, top the pie with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
