Nana's Sweet Potato Pie

Step 1: Boil sweet potatoes in their skin until they are knife tender (knife inserted into the potato slides off easily).

Step 2: Drain the water off and allow sweet potatoes to cool.

Step 3: Peel and discard the skin.

Step 4: In a medium mixing bowl, add the sweet potatoes, eggs, butter, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg and 1 1/4 cups of the sugar, and whip until incorporated.

Step 5: Add evaporated milk a little at a time until the filling becomes loose. Pour the filling into the pie crust.

Step 6: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 7: Take the remaining evaporated milk, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and sugar and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Brush the mixture on top of the filling.

Step 8: Place pie into the oven and bake for 50 minutes or until the pie is firm to the touch.

Step 9: Remove pie from the oven and allow to cool slightly before eating.
