Ingredients

• 1 pound purple sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoon butter

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 12 ounce evaporated milk
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pre-made pie crust

• Step 1

  Clean the potatoes by rinsing them and lightly scrubbing dirt off the skins. Prick the potatoes with a fork.

  

• Step 2

  Place the potatoes in a baking dish and cover with foil.

  

• Step 3

  Bake at 400°F for 1 hour, until tender.

  When cool enough to handle, use a knife to cut off the skins. Cut the potatoes into smaller chunks.

  In a food processor add the potatoes, butter, eggs, sugar, evaporated milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla, and lemon juice.

  

• Step 6

  Blend until thoroughly combined.

  

• Step 7

  Pour the filling into the pie crust and smooth.

  

• Step 8

  Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes. The outer filling should be set and the middle a little wobbly. Let cool completely.

  

• Step 9

  Right before serving, put a pile of mini marshmallows on top of the pie. Broil the pie 425°F until the marshmallows are perfectly toasty, about a minute. Watch them closely!
