Stages of cooking
-
Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
-
While the potatoes are cooking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Drain potatoes and place into a large mixing bowl. Add butter and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in condensed milk, eggs, orange zest, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth; pour into pie shell.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the surface is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 40 minutes. Let cool before serving.
