Tips:

Use fresh sweet potatoes: Fresh sweet potatoes will give the pie a better flavor and texture than canned sweet potatoes.
Bake the sweet potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that the pie filling is smooth and creamy.
Don't overmix the pie filling: Overmixing the filling will make it tough.
Use a deep-dish pie plate: This will prevent the pie from bubbling over.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: This will typically take about 45 minutes.
Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.
