Notes
Prepare pie crust according to your recipe or package directions.
Sweet Potato Pie is best when it has cooled, so wait to serve it.
The best sweet potato pie is made at least a day ahead and chilled. Remove from the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving.
Don't boil the sweet potatoes or they will take on too much liquid and the filling will be soggy.
