This Recipe is a favorite of ours, it’s always on the table for the holidays. Never had a sweet potato pie? Think pumpkin pie, but better. This recipe was on a page ripped out of an old church cookbook.
Two tips to take this sweet potato pie to the next level:
- Use a mixer or blender to “mash” the cooked sweet potato, it will smooth out the stringy texture of the sweet potato
- Use fresh grated nutmeg. It’s worth the extra work. Use a microplane grater to grate whole nutmeg.
