Sweet potato pie

Sweet potato pie

1 lb sweet potato (two large or three small)

1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened or melted

1/2 cup milk (regular or soy)

2 large eggs

1 cup white or brown sugar

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup chopped pecans or almonds

1 fresh 9" pie crust (see recipe here), chilled in a pie pan

Preheat oven to 375 F. Peel, chop, and boil the sweet potato until soft. Drain. Mix in the butter, milk, and sugar, and allow it to cool a bit. Put the mixture in a blender with all other ingredients (except chopped nuts) and puree until smooth. Pour into a cold pie crust, top with chopped nuts, and bake until pie crust turns golden brown (30-40 mins). Allow it to cool for about 20 mins or more (if you don't, the pie will be mushy or even liquid), then slice and serve.
