Method

Buy or make your pastry dough. Boil sweet potatoes in a large pot of water until very tender. Once tender and still hot, peel sweet potatoes and place in an 18-qt bowl. Add butter and mix together with mixer on low. Then add sugar, eggs, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add milk gradually making sure you have a medium consistency of filling. Pour mixture into dough lined pie shells and bake at 325-375 degrees, for approximately 30-45 minutes. Watch pie carefully noticing it baking from outside to center. When toothpick comes out clean, pie is done. Will yield approximately 8 servings per pie and will make 2 pies.
