Sweet Potato Pie (Dairy, Gluten/Grain and Refined Sugar Free)

What to do with leftover sweet potato?  I picked up a few very large sweet potatoes from my local produce farmer.  As usual, I overestimated how much food we really do eat in a meal so nonetheless, there were way to much potato leftovers.   Make Pie?  Pumpkin pie is one my favourites, so I figured sweet potato pie has got to be good too...and it is.  Could be dessert, a side dish or breakfast.
