Title: Sliced Sweet Potato Pie [America]
Categories: Pie Dessert
Yield: 1 9" pie

4	md	Sweet potatoes
1	c	Light brown sugar
1/2	ts	Cinnamon
1/8	ts	Nutmeg
1/2	ts	Ginger
1/4	ts	Salt
6	tb	Butter or margarine
1/2	c	Heavy cream
		9"Pastry for 2-crust pie

Boil sweet potatoes until half-cooked, 15-20 minutes. Peel and slice thinly. Mix sugar, spices and salt. Place a layer of sweet potatoes in pastry-lined 9" pie pan, sprinkle with some of the sugar-spice mixture and dot with a little butter. Continue until all ingredients are used, dotting top with butter. Add cream. Adjust top crust: flute edges and cut vents. Bake in hot oven (425 degrees) 30-40 minutes. If potatoes are still not tender reduce temperature to 350 F. and continue baking until done.

Note: I tried the above baking directions and got a rather brown crust. When I tried baking it at an initial temp. of 425 F. for 15 minutes and reducing it to 325 F. afterwards for 45 minutes more, I got a better crust and the filling was always cooked.
