2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, sugars, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well.
4. Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and any optional spices. Mix until well combined.
5. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust and smooth the top.
