Oddly enough, I've found that the reaction I get to sweet potato pie depends a lot on the color of the sweet potato. If it's of the orange-flesh variety, people tend to assimilate it with pumpkin pie, and often don't even try it. But if I use the pale white kind, then the color comes from nutmeg & cinnamon, and I tend to get a much better reaction. *shrugs* Never tried the evaporated milk variant (the recipe I use calls for milk and butter), sounds interesting!
