Boil sweet potatoes until tender, then check with a toothpick to ensure they are soft.

Peel the sweet potatoes while they are hot, as they should be easy to peel when cooked properly.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Mash the peeled sweet potatoes until they reach a good consistency, not overly soft.

Measure out 2 cups of the mashed sweet potatoes, noting that this recipe is for two pies, so adjust accordingly if making one.

Prepare the pie crust by using Pillsbury ready-made crusts, rolling them out if necessary to fit the pie dish.

Sprinkle flour on the counter and roll out the pie crust to ensure it fits the dish properly.

Grease the pie dish with butter to prevent sticking.

Pre-bake the pie crust in the oven for 10-15 minutes, checking at 10 minutes for doneness.

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter (half a stick), cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and eggs.

Mix the ingredients together starting on low speed to avoid mess, until well combined.
