Creating Southern Sweet Potato Pie can be effortless by following these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: If you haven’t done so already, cook the sweet potatoes until tender. Let them cool, then mash until smooth.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until smooth.
5. Incorporate Spices: Sprinkle in the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
6. Pour into Crust: Pour the sweet potato filling into the unbaked pie crust, spreading evenly.
7. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a fork inserted comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
9. Serve: Optionally, serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.

By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible Southern Sweet Potato Pie that will be the highlight of any meal.
