Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Boil the sweet potatoes in a large pot of water until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20-25 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes, let them cool for a few minutes, and then peel off the skins.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the peeled sweet potatoes until smooth.
Add the melted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed sweet potatoes and mix until combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Stir in the evaporated milk until the filling is smooth and well-combined.
Place the unbaked pie crust in a pie dish, and then pour the sweet potato filling into it, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The pie filling will puff up slightly but settle as it cools.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before serving.
Serve as is, or top with whipped cream for added sweetness!
