Instructions

Wash the skin of the sweet potatoes and add them to a large pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Boil until a fork or knife inserted in the center goes through with no resistance--about 30 to 40 minutes.
Transfer the potatoes to a bowl to cool. When cool, peel off the skins and remove any eyes or dark spots.
Preheat your oven to 350.
Fit your pie crust to a 9-inch pie plate and flute or decorate the edges as desired. Set aside.
