Press the graham cracker crumbs up the sides of the pan first before pressing into the bottom of the pan. Use the bottom of a sturdy dry-ingredient measuring cup to press the crumbs in firmly.
Use melted butter instead of cubed butter if you're using canned or leftover sweet potatoes (or if the sweet potato puree is not hot).
Top pie with mini marshmallows, whipped cream, or meringue. Toast the mini marshmallows or meringue with a kitchen torch or in the broiler.
