Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Step 2
Cover whole sweetpotatoes in water and boil for 20 minutes or until soft and done. Remove, cool and discard sweetpotato skins. Save 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Cool, then slice enough of the sweetpotatoes to yield 4 cups.
Step 3
Line pie plate with 1 crust. Layer sweet potato slices in pie crust, filling to edges.
Step 4
Combine 2 cups sugar with 3/4 of the reserved cooking liquid and pour over sweetpotatoes. Add additional liquid if necessary to just cover sweetpotatoes.
Step 5
Sprinkle pie with nutmeg and dot with butter.
Step 6
Cut second pie crust into 1/2-inch strips and crisscross on top of sweetpotatoes to make a lattice covering. Crimp the pastry edges together. Dust the top of pie with remaining 1 cup sugar.
Step 7
Bake in oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until top crust is browned. Cool before serving.
