Instructions

1. Cook sweet potatoes
   Peel and boil sweet potatoes until very tender. Drain and mash until smooth.

2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

3. Mix filling
   In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.

4. Fill pie crust
   Pour filling into unbaked pie crust and smooth the top.

5. Bake
   Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out mostly clean.

6. Cool
   Let pie cool completely before slicing so it sets properly.

Grandma’s Tips ❤️

• For extra smooth filling, blend the mixture with a hand mixer or blender.

• Don’t overbake—slight jiggle in the center is okay.

• Best served at room temperature or chilled.

Optional Variations

• Extra rich: Replace half the evaporated milk with heavy cream.

• Southern style: Add 1 tbsp molasses.

• Topping idea: Serve with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
