2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (baked and then mashed)
1 stick butter, melted
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup evaporated milk
2 eggs
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoons ginger
1 Tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Let potatoes cool and then remove the skin. It should peel off very easily.
Place peeled sweet potatoes in a bowl and break it up with a fork.
Use a mixer to mix the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy.
Add in butter and mix to combine.
Add in sugars, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla and flour. Beat until mixture is smooth. Pour into prepared pie crust and bake for 55-60 minutes. (Don't be alarmed if the pie puffs up while cooking. It will settle down as it cools)
Let cool on the counter for about 30 minutes and then chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to fully set.
