Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is warming, I usually prepare my sweet potatoes. I peel and chop them into chunks, then boil them until they are tender. Drain the water, and then mash them until smooth. This creates a wonderful base for the pie filling. Once they are mashed, allow them to cool slightly before mixing in the other ingredients.
