Boston Cooking School Cook Book. Mrs. D.A. Lincoln. (A reprint of the 1884 Classic)
Two pounds of potatoes will make two pies. Boil the potatoes soft; peel and mash fine through a cullender while hot; one tablespoonful of butter to be mashed in with the potato. Take five eggs and beat the yelks and whites separate and add one gill of milk; sweeten to taste; squeeze the juice of one orange, and grate one-half of the peel into the liquid. One half teaspoonful of salt in the potatoes. Have only one crust and that at the bottom of the plate. Bake quickly.
NOTE this was the Original Sweet potato pie… I however would add much more.. brown sugar, white sugar, cinn, nutmeg
