Great Pie!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am not a sweet potato/yam fan so I was skeptical of how it might taste but once I tasted it I thought this was so close to... pumpkin pie (which is my favorite) that it blew me away. Easy pie to put together. I did have to cook it a little longer than 45 minutes, but the instructions mentioned extra time may be needed.Read more

Sweet Potatoe Pie
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Oh My Gosh, so good. The best ever. I used a short cut. Instead of fresh sweet potatoes I used 2 - 20oz cans. Heat the sweet... potatoes and the syrup they are in, then drain before mashing. Follow the recipe and use 4 egg yolks not 3. For the milk use a 12oz can of Evaporated. Make sure your nutmeg isn't old. New spices make a difference.Read more
