1-First Step: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your pie crust, whether homemade or store-bought. For dietary variations, choose the appropriate crust to match your needs.

2-Second Step: Peel and boil sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.

3-Third Step: In a large bowl, mix mashed sweet potatoes with sugar, melted butter, eggs, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. For vegan adaptation, replace eggs and dairy with plant-based alternatives.

4-Fourth Step: Pour the sweet potato mixture into the pie crust, smoothing the top evenly.

5-Fifth Step: Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the filling has set and a knife inserted comes out clean. Cover the edges with foil midway if browning too fast.

6-Final Step: Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before serving. Refrigerate leftovers promptly to maintain freshness. Use baked sweet potatoes for a richer, creamier texture and deeper flavor, as they are preferred over boiled ones.
