• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened

1. Preheat the oven to 300F.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the potatoes, 1/2 cup sugar, and the eggs, butter, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla.
3. Beat until thoroughly blended and smooth.
4. Divide evenly between the pie shells.
5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over each pie.
6. Allow the pies to stand for 15 minutes before baking to allow the sugar to melt.
7. Bake the pies for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool them before serving.
9. A sweet potato never tasted so good!
10. The added sugar on top gives just the right finishing crunch.
