- Preheat the oven to 300F.
- Bake the pie crust for 15 minutes and set aside to cool.
- Place the unpeeled sweet potatoes in a large pot of water.
- Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until the peels slide off when pulled with a spoon, about 1 hour.

- When theyre cool enough to handle, remove the skins.
- Transfer them back to the pot and mash until smooth.
- Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, then beat with a handheld electric mixer until thoroughly blended.

- Add the egg mixture, sugar, and melted butter to the sweet potato mixture and continue to beat with the mixer until very smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 400F.

- Let cool for at least 30 minutes, then serve at room temperature.
