Wash the sweet potatoes well. Wrap them in foil. Bake at 400°F for about 45 minutes. They should feel soft when pressed. Let them cool slightly. This step builds deep flavor and natural sweetness.

Remove the skins carefully. Place the soft inside in a bowl. Mash until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps. A smooth base helps the pie turn creamy and rich.

Add melted butter, sugar, and eggs to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well using a whisk or mixer. Keep mixing until the texture looks smooth and creamy.

Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix everything again until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and slightly thick.

Place the unbaked pie crust into your pie dish. Press it gently so it fits well. You can use store-bought or homemade crust.

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the crust. Spread it evenly using a spoon. Make sure the top is smooth for even baking.

Place the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The center should be slightly soft but not liquid.

Remove the pie from the oven. Let it cool for at least one hour. This helps it set properly. Slice and enjoy your delicious pie.
