I recently attended a school function that brought out some of the best pie bakers I've ever seen. One such delicacy that crossed my lips was Sweet Potato Pie. I had forgotten how wonderfully indulgent this simple recipe is. Born of southern roots, Sweet Potato Pie has been a family dessert staple for centuries.
I haven't made this version for years, and recently perused my recipe files and found a popular version given to me years back by a Sweet Potato Pie expert. She had been making them for years, and this recipe was handed down by her Mamma. I wish I could remember her name and give her justice here, but it has been too many years. You will never have to request another recipe for this pie once you've tried this treat.
2 pounds of sweet potatoes (about 4)
1 2/3 cups of half and half
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
I pie crust
Bake sweet potatoes in 400 degree oven for one hour. Cool and scrape out with fork. Place in a bowl and add half and half, sugar, and spices. Beat on high for about 2 minutes with a mixer. Place all in pie crust. Bake at 375 deggress for one hour or until edges are golden brown.
