Sweet Potato Pie

So I was sitting at work one day last week when I got a phone call. The conversation went something like this:
Me: Hello
Caller: Do you like sweet potatoes?
Me: Ummm yeah I guess why
Caller: Well.....a semi full of sweet potatoes had an accident, everyone is okay and the sweet potatoes weren't damaged but they can't sell them now. So if you want some go to (location) and get you some.
Me: well okay then thanks for letting me know.

And yes....I then proceeded to the location to get my sweet potatoes, then I thought to myself, what in the world am I going to do with 20 pounds (roughly) of them? So I searched Pinterest and found several sweet potato pie recipes.

Now I've never had sweet potato pie....ever. I've only discovered that I even somewhat like sweet potatoes recently. I've never cared for them before. But a friend insisted that I try sweet potato fries, so reluctantly I did, and to my surprise they were delicious.

So I took several recipes and blended them together and added my own flare and made this pie. And let me just tell you.....it was AMAZING! My husband even liked it and he doesn't like sweet potatoes at all.

INGREDIENTS

4 large sweet potatoes
4 eggs
1 can evaporated milk
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon flour
2 sticks butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup regular sugar
2 deep dish pie crusts

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350. Wash and boil sweet potatoes until soft, when they cool, remove the skin, then add eggs, milk, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, flour, butter and sugars to a large bowl. Beat on medium approximately 2 minutes, then beat on high until smooth, approximately 1-2 minutes. Pour in to pie crusts and place on cooking sheet in oven for approximately 1 hour. Knife should come out clean when done. Let cool, add some cool whip and eat up!

This recipe is easy and the pie is delicious! Try it out and let me know what you think.
