Steps:
- Fill a large pan with boiling water from the kettle and set over a medium-high heat. Cook the whole, unpeeled sweet potatoes for 30 mins until very tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Drain well and leave to cool for 10 mins, then peel.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Unravel the shortcrust pastry and use it to line a 23cm fluted tart tin. Line with baking parchment and fill with baking beans, then bake for 20 mins. Remove the parchment and beans and bake for another 5 mins.
- Tip the peeled sweet potatoes into a large bowl with the butter and mash with a potato masher until completely smooth. Tip in the sugar, milk, eggs, spices and vanilla and whisk until everything is combined and smooth.
- Tip the sweet potato filling into the pastry case, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-55 mins until the pastry and the surface of the pie is golden and the middle is set. Leave to cool completely in the tin, then remove to a cake stand or serving plate and cut into slices to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
- Prick the sweet potatoes: Before baking, prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. This will help them cook faster and more evenly.
- Use a fork to mash the sweet potatoes: This will give the pie a smooth, creamy texture. Be sure to mash the sweet potatoes until they are completely smooth, with no lumps.
- Add spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are classic additions to sweet potato pie. You can also add other spices, such as allspice, cloves, or cardamom, to taste.
- Use a pre-made pie crust: If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made pie crust. Just be sure to thaw it according to the package directions before using it.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: This will usually take about 45-50 minutes. You can check the pie by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
- Let the pie cool before serving: This will help the pie set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, spiced filling and flaky crust, sweet potato pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
