For an added touch but this will make 4 pies, please double the crust. Prepare an orange sweet potato batch of filling, same as above using orange sweet potato in place of the purple sweet potato. While preparing the pie use a 3 inch steal baking ring and place on the unfilled pie crust. Fill the center of the ring with orange sweet potato filling, fill the outside of the ring with purple sweet potato filling. Remove the steal ring and using a knife and make a star design in the pie.
