First, bake the sweet potatoes. Set out the mascarpone cheese so it can soften while you bake the potatoes.
Once they are baked and cool enough to handle remove the skins and mash them into a puree.
In a stand mixer, beat the mascarpone cheese until creamy. Add the mashed sweet potatoes and beat until combined.
Add the sugars and salt, and beat until combined. Add the eggs, half-milk, and melted butter, and beat until combined.
Add the vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and beat until incorporated.
If using a store-bought pie crust, simply follow the directions to pre-bake the crust slightly. Then add the filling to the crust.
Once you’ve poured the filling into the crust, bake at 350°F for 48-50 minutes, until the center is set but the pie may still have a slightly jiggle to it if you were to shake it. A little jiggle is OK, but you don’t want the pie to look like liquid (like it did before baking).
Allow to cool before serving or storing.

You can top this sweet potato pie with store-bought marshmallows or whipped cream instead.
