Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
Prepare Sweet Potato Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until well combined.
Add Spices: Mix in the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until everything is well blended.
Pour and Bake: Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

To enhance the flavor, roast the sweet potatoes before mashing them. This brings out their natural sweetness.
If you prefer a spicier pie, add a pinch more cinnamon or ginger.
Pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
