    Wow incredible pie i made a few tweeks to it because of the reviews I used Greek Honey and vanilla yogurt and added addtl 1 tbsp honey and a splash of vanilla to the pie i also used extra maple on top amazing!!!!! Not a real fan of pecan and they were a little on the tough side the first day but after the second day in the fridge pecans soften and they were better...My daughter is a really picky eater and she hates vegetables i always have to hide veggies in her food and this was a winner she loved it, she of course remove pecans from the top she enjoyed it more than the chocolate cake that we had on thanksgiving...i love this receipe and its great for any beginner really easy receipe my pie did reach temp at 1.5 hours so make sure to check temp before taking it out of the oven...Ty Mr. Brown for your good eats, this was the best dish at the thanksgiving table!!!

    This pie is great. I'm now required to make it for my husband every November haha. I find that a little extra maple syrup makes it even sweeter :

    Too tart!

    Alton is my hero (his apple pie is to die for!!! so I assumed this pie would be amazing. The texture and the spices were nice (I used 1 tsp. Pampered Chef's Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend and 1/4 tsp. nutmeg. I also added 1 tsp. vanilla extract and 2 T. butter melted and cooled.

    I'm trying it again for Thanksgiving dinner using 1/2 & 1/2 instead.

    The cooking method was perfect!

    Though a good pie, it could be better by using light cream instead of the overpowering yogurt AND more importantly the potatoes need to be roasted either in the oven or microwave instead of steamed. The steaming is going to add water to the potatoes and dilute the flavors. I also added a tsp of good vanilla extract. This was my 3rd attempt to get this pie in the excellent catagory and i think i've done it. Alton are you reading?

    Pretty good, but the tart yogurt flavor comes through a bit too much for my taste. Next time I'd be more careful to get a milder tasting yogurt, or maybe vanilla flavored would do the trick??? I also think that candying the pecans on top would be a nice touch. Otherwise, it was easy to make, bakes up well, looks good, and has a lot of promise, given a few little tweaks.

    Just made this pie, it is excellent. Had to make a couple adjustments; used sour cream and yogurt, because I didn't have enough yogurt; also, I left off the pecans, but did swirl a bit of maple on top. The custard consistency is perfect, and love the balance of the yogurt/sour cream with the sweetness of the sugar and potato.
    Like usual Alton came through with a good one!!!
