This is the best sweet potato pie I have ever put in my mouth. The recipe is from my Grand Aunt, Ruth Hill of Shelby, NC
3 large sweet potatoes
1 stick butter
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups sugar
1 small can evaporated milk
1 1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. lemon flavoring
3 pie shells
Peel sweet potatoes, then boil them whole; drain water.
Mash potatoes with butter. Add eggs and milk. Combine sugar with cornstarch; add to potato mixture. Finally, add vanilla and lemon flavoring.
Pour into pie shells. Bake at 350 degrees until brown.
Makes 3 pies.
