Sweet Potato Pie Recipe
3 lbs. Yams
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 can evaporated milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
1 stick of butter
Dash of cinnamon
Pre-heat your oven to 400°F.
Boil the yams with the skin on until until they easily break apart when stabbeb witha fork. Cool yams slightly. Remove the skin. Beat yams with mixer at medium speed, stopping frequently to remove strings from the beaters.
Once the strings are removed, add butter and continue to mix. Add remaining ingredients. Add nutmeg and sugar to your tastes.
Continue mixing your batter until it has a nice smooth consistency. The batter should not be thin or runny, and it should not be too thick either. If too thick, try adding a little more evaporated milk (by the tablespoon) until the batter is smooth. Pour your batter into an unbaked 9 or 10 inch pie shell, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on the top and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour.

(Tip: Brush the edges of your pie shell with ice water to prevent it from burning before the pie is actually done). Brown specs on the top of the pie are an indication that your pie is done. You can also insert a knife in the middle of the pie, and if it comes out clean it's done! Let cool for at least 1 hour before cutting and serving.

I do believe every African-American mother knows how to make sweet potato pie, and if she has a son, he does too. Here is one I learned from mine.

Makes one 9-inch pie

* 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
* 1 1/2 to 2 cups water
* 1 stick (4 ounces) butter
* 3/4 to 1 cup sugar
* 2 large eggs, beaten
* 1/4 cup buttermilk
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 unbaked pie crust

Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Place the potatoes in a saucepan covered with the water. bring to a boil and cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and soft. Drain and discard the water. While the potatoes are still hot, mash them with the butter and sugar. Let this mixture cool slightly, then add the beaten eggs along with the buttermilk and vanilla and combine well. Pour into the pie crust and bake for about 1 hour.
