Chuckwagon: Sweet Potato Pie

Boil sweet potatoes until well done.  Peel and slice them very thin.  Line a deep pie pan with good plain pastry, and arrange the sliced potatoes in layers, dotting with butter and sprinkling sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg over each layer, using at least ½ cup sugar.  Pour over 3 tablespoonfuls whiskey, about ½ cup water, cover with pastry and bake. Serve warm.
