Preheat oven to 375 F. Cream margarine and sugar together. Add eggs and stir. Add sweet potatoes and mix well. Stir in milk, vanilla and salt, making sure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Pour into pie shell and bake 40 minutes. When using a commercially frozen pie shell, use a 9-inch deep dish shell. Note: This is a plain sweet potato pie for those who like the lush flavor of sweet potatoes accented only by vanilla. For extra flavor you may want to fancy up the pie with the addition of ½ teaspoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg, or a tablespoon of grated lemon rind and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. This pie can also be made without using a crust. Pour ingredients into a greased 9-inch pie plate and bake 40 minutes at 375 0F. or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Yield: 8 servings.
