3-4 large sweet potatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
2 (9-inch) deep dish pie crust shells, unbaked

Preheat oven and a cookie sheet to 350°F. Boil potatoes until easily pierced by a fork. Cool slightly, then peel.

Place potatoes in large electric mixing bowl and beat until smooth (I pull out strings as a go). Stir in butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating in after each addition. Mix in spices, salt and evaporated milk. Pour into unbaked pie crusts.

Bake on preheated cookie sheet near center of 350°F oven for 70 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool on wire racks.

YIELD: 2 (9-inch) pies.
