Sweet Potato Pie

Good Morning. The other day I noticed I still had those 5 sweet potatoes in the basket, have to make something. Remembered I also had some crust in the refrigerator!!! OH BOY, Sweet Potato Pie. I found this recipe, You only use one bowl, hate to clean kitchens. It was so delicious, creamy, light, yet dense with sweet potato flavor. Make sure you get fresh potatoes, makes a difference. This would be a good alternative to Pumpkin pie.

Note: Never one to leave a recipe alone, I added a little extra cinnamon, about 1/2 tsp. allspice & 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. To keep it one bowl, beat your eggs with a fork in the measuring cup. I roasted the potatoes in the oven which gives even more sweetness because they caramelizes in the oven. Either wrap in aluminum foil or place on a cookie sheets, they will leak all over your oven, bake at 400 deg for approx 1 hour, check them, when they're soft they're done..
