Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

4 large sweet potatoes cooked and peeled

Sugar

2 1/4 cups granulated sugar

Spices

1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Crack the eggs into the mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Stir in the bourbon, vanilla extract, and milk, blending until smooth.

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the pies cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Experiment with variations by using canned pumpkin or adding chopped pecans for extra texture. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
