Ingredients
  • 6 small sweet potatoes
  • 1 stick butter ( no substitute ) softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk, half and half or cream
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • Home made pastry for a double crust pie ( probably just need half of it and freeze any leftovers )

Directions
  1. Boil potatoes until tender, drain, remove skins and place flesh in a bowl.
  2. Let cool to warm
  3. Add the butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and eggs and whip with an eletric mixer until smooth.
  4. Portion your home made crust into 6 to 8 balls or as many you think you may need and place into individual pie tins , fluting edges and pricking bottom with tines of a fork
  5. I have several tin sizes and the ones I used are not the mini size but the two serving size.
  6. My filling filled 5 small pies ( photoed are 4 )
  7. it really does not matter what size pie tine you decide to use.
  8. The recipe can also fill a large 9 or 10 inch pie shell
  9. Bake in a preheated 350F oven about 55 to 60 minutes or until filling is puffed and tip of knife center comes out clean.
  10. Be careful not to overbake which would cause a drier filling
  11. Remove to rack to cool ( filling will defalte to original size )
  12. Let cool completely.
  13. At this point you can cover and refrigerate or freeze.
  14. Garnish the pies prior to serving with coarse granulated sugar and a dollop of whipped cream
  15. Note : this is a simple basic recipe but one can add stuff to the pie such as toasted pecans, brown sugar, etc etc.
