Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (about 3 medium) sweet potatoes
  • 1 (9-inch) pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
  • 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roast sweet potatoes until very soft, about 45-60 minutes.
  • Let sweet potatoes cool slightly, then peel and mash or process in a food processor until smooth (about 2 cups).

  • Pour filling into the prepared pie crust.
