Reviews
the best sweet potato pie recipe ever!
Yes. I have been making this for years.. Family love it !!!
This was really delicious. Like some other reviewers, I was nervous about the “4 medium sweet potatoes” as size is relative. I ended up using 2 large ones, which was about 2.5 cups of mashed sweet potato. The flavors were great, and if anything, I thought it was maybe a little bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I’ll probably just do the 3/4 cup brown sugar and leave out the white sugar altogether. I imagine other reviewers who thought it wasnt sweet enough might have used more sweet potato, making it less sweet. I also doubled the cinnamon and nutmeg, since it seemed like too little for an entire pie. I used half Indonesian and half Vietnamese Cinnamon and it was lovely.
This is a delicious pie!!
I try this recipe for the first time, sweet potato pie is one of my favorites and it came out lovely my family loved it, thank you for sharing
I loved this recipe thank you. I made it for my family and they loved it. I always say it’s hard for me to make sweet potatoe pie since I do not like it I can’t tell how it supposed to taste.
Is there a weight or measurement in cups for the amount of sweet potato? There are so many sizes of sweet potatoes that it’s a little too ambiguous for me. Thank you.
I accidentally lost my Grandmother’s recipe, and my Dad is insistent that I am the only one who can make her pies just like her. Last year I used this recipe and it went over so well, he couldn’t tell the difference. My husband actually liked this recipe better!
I’ve had this recipe saved for years and it is definitely my go to recipe. I believe in dark sweet potato pies not bright orange. Lol This is the one right here! Thank you for sharing.
My favorite
