Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, then boil them in a large pot of water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth.
Add the butter to the mashed sweet potatoes while they are still warm, and mix until fully melted and incorporated.
Stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared 9-inch pie crust.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.
Serve the pie warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
