Sweet Potato Pie

The sweet potatoes we usually get here in Louisiana are so sweet when baked that the pie doesn't need much sugar.

2 pounds sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inch)

1. Bake sweet potatoes at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until very soft. Cool slightly. Cut potatoes in half; scoop out the pulp and discard shells. Place pulp in a food processor or blender; cover and process until smooth.

2. In a bowl, combine the pulp, brown sugar, sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla and salt. Stir in milk and egg until we blended. Pour into pastry shell.

3. Bake at 375 degrees F for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. Refrigerate leftovers.
