Recipe from the kitchen of Winona A. Green. My mother, Marie LaFrances Green, made this unique and tasty white potato pie while I was growing up in Baltimore.

Makes one 9-inch pie, serves 8

• 7 medium potatoes

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

• 2 cups sugar

• 4 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• One (9 inch) unbaked frozen piecrust

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Place the unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with water to cover over high heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and cook until the potatoes are soft.

3. Peel the potatoes, place them in a large bowl, add the butter, and mash the potatoes. Add the sugar, eggs, nutmeg, and vanilla and mix with a hand-held electric mixer until smooth.

4. Pour the mixture into the piecrust and bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown on top.
