During the week of Thanksgiving, we watched Rachael Ray. One day she had a guest chef on the show who made a sweet potato pie. He made it look so easy. So we decided to try and make it. It was fantastic. I made it for some friends who came over and watched Eat, Pray, Love. They liked it, too. Then, we made it for my mom and sister and niece in Odessa, and they liked it. I'm sure you will too.
2 large or 3 small sweet potatoes
3 eggs
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
vanilla
pinch of nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter
1 box Pillsbury pie crust (2 crusts)
Bake potatoes for 1 hour on 350. In a large bowl, mash potatoes and add the other ingredients. Spray a glass pie pan or aluminum pie pan (for easy cleanup) with Pam. Put one pie crust on the bottom. Add mixture. Cut the other pie crust into 1 inch strips and make a grid on top. Bake about 45 minutes on 350 or until brown. Serve with whip cream on top.
I will have to tell my mom about this recipe! A couple of years ago we made sweet potato pie for the first time and it came out watery and rather unappetizing. Do you have any recipes for sweet potato fries or baked sweet potatoes?
