Grandma's Favorite Sweet Potato Pie image

Grandma copied this recipe from the newspaper in the early 70's. She says it's her very favorite for sweet potato pie, as she has tried lots of variations. One taste and I'm sure you'll agree with her. This pie is not just for the holidays, it is also good for a family get together or potluck.
