Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups White potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Sugar
- 0.25 cup Butter (softened)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Boil the peeled and diced white potatoes in a medium saucepan until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, milk, sugar, and softened butter. Mix until well blended and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, lemon zest, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Pour the potato mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. The filling will firm up as it cools.
Slice and serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Enjoy!
