OLD FASHION SWEET POTATO PIE

Ingredients

500 gr sweet potato
125 gr soft butter
250 gr white sugar
125 ml milk
2 large eggs
3 ml. ground nutmeg
3 ml. ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Few drops of vanilla
1 nine inch unbaked pie crust

Method

Boil sweet potato whole in skin for about 1 hour until done.
Run cold water over the potato and remove the skin. Break apart
potato into a bowl. Add butter, and mix well with mixer. Stir in
sugar, milk, eggs, spices and vanilla. Beat at a medium speed
until smooth. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie shell. Bake
at 175 C or (350 F) for about 1 hour, or until knife inserted in
the center comes out clean. Pie will puff like a soufflé and then
it will shrink down as it cools. Garnish with whipping cream.
