Sweet Potato Pie
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup mashed yams
4 tablespoons butter
1-cup sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1-teaspoon nutmeg
2 large eggs
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup bourbon (you can also substitute Grand Marnier)
1-tablespoon vanilla
One 9-inch unbaked pie shell
Preheat oven to 350F.
Cook potatoes together and mash them together when done. Mix together sweet potatoes, yams and butter in a bowl until well blended. Add remaining ingredients (except the pie shell), and beat with electric mixer, making sure to get rid of any yam fibers that gather on the beaters. Pour mixture into the pie shell and bake for about 1 hour or until done (when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean).
Makes 8-10 servings.
