SWEET POTATO PIE Makes one 9 inch pie
		INGREDIENTS 3      cups boiled, peeled, and mashed yams 3/4      cup sugar 2      eggs 1      teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2      cup milk 1/2      cup butter (melted) Topping: 1      cup light brown sugar 1/3      cup flour 1      cup chopped nuts (pecans are best) 1/3      cup butter (melted) INSTRUCTIONS Prepare basic pastry for single-crust pies. Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Mix first six ingredients together and pour into unbaked pie shell (do not overfill-extra filling can be baked separately in a greased casserole dish.) Combine last four ingredients for topping and sprinkle on top of pie. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Serve warm. Refrigerate cooled pie. Note: In the south, "sweet potato" means "yams". However, this recipe works with either yams (dark orange-brown color) or regular sweet potatoes (light-brown yellow color). If you want true southern style, use yams. You can also use this recipe instead of traditional sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving. Prepare as above, except place in a greased casserole instead of a pie shell and bake at 350F for 30 minutes.
