Method

Prepare the pastry and line a pie plate. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Meanwhile, place the sweet potatoes in a saucepan and add water to cover and salt to taste. If 1 potato is used, split it in half lengthwise to facilitate cooking. Simmer 15 minutes or longer, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain.
Preheat the oven
