Place sweet potatoes in a pan with enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender.
Drain, return to pan, and mash with the milk until smooth.
In a bowl, cream together the potatoes and remaining ingredients.
Pour into your pie shell. Cover the pie edges with foil.
Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
