    ½ cup sugar

    2 eggs

    ¾ can evaporated milk

    2 cups sweet potato, cooked and mashed

    2 teaspoons vanilla

    PREPARATION

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.

    2. Press the pie crust into a 9-inch round pie dish or cake pan, forming the crust into the bottom and the sides of the pan. Crimp the edges if you prefer a pie crust with a design.

    3. Combine all the filling ingredients into a bowl and mix until smooth with no lumps.

    4. Pour the filling into the pie dish with the crust.

    5. If you prefer a pecan topping, mix the pecan topping ingredients in a bowl until evenly combined, then spread the mixture on top of the pie filling, smoothing it out with your hands.

    6. If you prefer a marshmallow toppings, sprinkle as many marshmallows as you’d like over the pie filling.

    7. Bake for 50 minutes to an hour, or until the pie is set but has a slight jiggle in the very center when lightly shaken. Then chill completely in a refrigerator.

    8. Slice, then serve!
