Tips:
- Use a baking dish that is at least 9 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep. This will ensure that the pie has enough room to rise and that the crust is evenly cooked.
- Make sure the sweet potatoes are cooked through before assembling the pie. You can roast them in the oven, microwave them, or boil them. If you are boiling them, be sure to drain them well before mashing them.
- Use a sturdy whisk to beat the eggs and sugar together. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture and make the pie light and fluffy.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pie tough.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.
