For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the sweet potato mixture. If your pie crusts are browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. The key to a smooth pie filling is to ensure the sweet potatoes are thoroughly mashed and there are no lumps. Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. Some people prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, while others enjoy more nutmeg.
