Ingredients

• 2 cups White potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Sugar
• 0.25 cup Butter (softened)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 piece Unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Boil the peeled and diced white potatoes in a medium saucepan until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, milk, sugar, and softened butter. Mix until well blended and creamy.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, lemon zest, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the potato mixture into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden brown.

Step 8

Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. The filling will firm up as it cools.

Step 9

Slice and serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Enjoy!
