Notes
I like to refrigerate this pie before serving, but you can serve it warm.
Use either a homemade pie crust, refrigerated or frozen pie crust.
My favorite way to make mashed sweet potato is to bake them until very soft, peel the skins off and then mash them. Two medium to large sweet potatoes should be enough for 1 cup of mashed sweet potato.
