(First time I tried this recipe. Hope it’s good)
Pre-baked pie crust (This is a good excuse to buy ceramic pie weights if you don’t already have them)
3 large sweet potatoes (4 was too many) You’ll want ~2 cups cooked sweet potato.
1 cup evaporated milk (half and half should work)
1 cup sugar (I think I may try brown sugar next time)
4 eggs
3/4 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp molasses
2 to 4 tbsp bourbon
Fresh whipped cream

Bake pie crust ~20 minutes at 400 F. Parchment paper may be better under the pie weights than waxed paper.

Stab sweet potatoes repeatedly with sharp object, such as fork. Cook sweet potatoes in the microwave 5 minutes, turn potatoes, cook 5 minutes longer. Let sit at least 10 minutes.

Scoop innards out of sweet potatoes with spoon. Put into large mixing bowl. Mix ingredients. (I used electric mixer, for I am lazy.) Pour ingredients into pie crust. Bake 20 minutes at 400 F. Lower temperature to 325, and bake 20 more minutes. Serve warm with fresh whipped cream.

ADDENDUM the First:
Cook the potatoes a little longer, half the bourbon, and a dash more molasses.
