Categories: Desserts / Pies & Pastries

Ingredients:
2  sm  sweet potatoes, 3/4 pound
1  md  russet potatoes, baking type
1    butter, 8 tablespoons
1  c  brown sugar, packed
1/2  t  nutmeg -- fresh, grated
3  lg  eggs, beaten
1 1/4  c  evaporated milk
1/2  t  vanilla extract
1    pie crust (9 inch), unbaked

Directions:
Preparation Time: 1:45 This different type of sweet potato pudding uses a russet baking potato to lighten the color and heaviness of the pie. Place all of the well-scrubbed potatoes in a 3-quart saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are very soft, about 20-30 minutes. Drain and when cool enough to handle, peel. In medium bowl, combine potatoes, butter, brown sugar and nutmeg. Using a potato masher, cream the potatotes until very smooth. In small bowl, beat eggs, 1 cup evaporated milk and vanilla together. Beat this mixture into the potatoes. Mix thoroughly. Pour into piecrust and drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of milk on top. Bake 15 minutes in a preheated 450 degree oven then turn heat to 325 degrees and continue baking for 30 minutes or more until the filling is set.
