Course Side Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 5 large sweet potatoes or yams
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 pie shells (9 inch, each), unbaked

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  • Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Boil for about 30 minutes, until fork tender. Pour hot water off potatoes and cover with cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel skins off potatoes and place back into saucepan. Mash with handheld masher, then whip with electric mixer. Add softened butter and mix.
  • Add rest of ingredients to potatoes and mix until all are well-blended. Pour mixture evenly into pie shells and place in preheated oven and bake for 90 minutes. These pies taste best when baked in low heat and a long time. Makes 2 pies. Refrigerate any leftovers. Enjoy!
