• Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Add eggs and milk; mix well.
• Pour sweet potato mixture into unbaked pie shell. Cover edge of pie with foil. Bake in 375F degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes more or until a knife, inserted halfway between the center and edge, comes out clean.
• Cool on a wire rack. Cover and chill to store. Serve with sweetened whipped cream, if desired.
