Delicious Sweet Potato Pie

 

 

Sweet potatoes were another staple I grew up with. They were fairly

inexpensive and were great baked or put in a pie. Baked potatoes were just

eaten with a little butter.

 

To make a potato pie, you need:

 

4 large potatoes

2 cups sugar

1 stick butter

1 pinch cinnamon

1 pinch nutmeg

1 store-bought pie crust

or your can just line a pan with vanilla wafers

instead

1/2 cup milk

 

 

Boil the potatoes until tender. When you stick a fork in them it should go

in easy but you don't want them to fall apart.

 

Let the potatoes cool and then peel them.

 

Put the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and mash them thoroughly with a

potatoe masher. Melt the butter and pour it and the other ingredients in the

bowl of potatoes. Stir until well mixed.

 

Whether you used a ready made pie crust or just cookies, pour the potatoes

mixture into the crust.

 

Put into an oven preheated to 375 degrees.

Cook for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick

inserted in the center comes out dry.

 

I like to eat the pie while still hot. It's good cold too though.

 

If you want you can make a meringue topping by blending confectionary sugar

with egg whites. After the pie is almost done, spread the

meringue thinly across the top. Continue baking until the meringue turns

light brown. If you use the meringue, you can add the egg yokes

to the pie if you like. I prefer my pie without eggs, so I just save the

yokes for breakfast

 

Seriously!

 

Enjoy.
