1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 unbaked pie crust

*I found a great tip for peeling any sort of potatoes if using them after boiling... After you clean the potatoes (with the skin on) slice a ring around the middle of the potato before placing it in boiling water. After it is cooked and cool to the touch rince with cool water and simply slide the skin off! It is a great way not to spend hours peeling potatoes...!
