Thanksgiving recipes

[blueerica]

OK you guys - I'm making a Sweet Potato Pie this year... So... I have a lot to figure out.

I'm looking for any tips from southerners, or those who have had it as a traditional Thanksgiving dessert. This is the recipe I'm going off of:

a. 3 lbs. Yams.
b. 1 1/2 cups sugar.
c. 1 can evaporated milk.
d. 2 eggs.
e. 1 1/2 tsp nutmeg.
f. 1 tsp vanilla.
g. 1 stick of butter.
h. Dash of cinnamon.

Does that seem reasonable, or is there anything else you can suggest?
