Start by gathering ingredients: sweet potatoes, sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, Carnation milk, eggs, butter, vanilla extract, lemon extract, pie shells, and salt.

Peel the sweet potatoes after boiling or baking them until tender. Use two forks to help peel the skin off while they are still hot.

Place the peeled sweet potatoes into a mixing bowl or mixer.

Add butter to the warm sweet potatoes so it melts easily.

Mix the sweet potatoes and butter together until smooth, removing any strings that may be present.

Add a little bit of Carnation milk to loosen the mixture and help remove any remaining strings. Mix again.

Repeat the mixing process at least three times to ensure all strings are removed from the sweet potato mixture.

Once the mixture is smooth, add sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.

Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie shells.

Bake the pie in a preheated oven until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
