Notes
- Fresh or Canned Sweet Potatoes: This recipe does taste best with fresh sweet potatoes, but when you're in a rush, canned work just as well. Drain the liquid from the can and place the potatoes in a mixing bowl. Microwave for 2-3 minutes or until the potatoes are warm enough to easily mash. Proceed with step 3.
- Spices: Feel free to increase the amount of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger based on your tastes. As is, this is a mildly spiced pie. You may also sub these three spices for 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.
- Pie Crust: You may use homemade or store bought pie crust for this recipe.
