In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, flour, and about half of the evaporated milk (2.5 oz). Stir well to blend.
Add Remaining Ingredients:
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and the remaining evaporated milk. Mix until the filling is smooth and well-blended.
Assemble the Pie:
Pour the sweet potato filling into the unbaked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake:
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the pie to cool before slicing. Sweet potato pie can be served warm or at room temperature, and it pairs beautifully with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
Enjoy this comforting, classic dessert!
