this is from the Fannie Farmer cookbook.

2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
2 eggs, well beaten
1 1/4 cups of milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 tbs rum*
4 tbs butter, melted

Preheat oven to 425 F. Combine ingredients in a large bowl and beat until smooth and well blended. Pour into unbaked pie shell 9". Bake for 10 min, then reduce heat to 300 F and bake for about 50 min more or until the filling is firm.
You can use rum flavoring instead. Look near the vanilla extract in your local store.

Go to www.recipes.com, they have some great sweet potato pie recipes. I've tried a few, they are all pretty good. My sister in law made the best sweet potato pies ever, but she passed away 2 1/2 years ago, and I never got her recipe. Hope that web site helps, also browse the net...there are lots of recipe sites.

I have my recipe at home, im at work too. Its my moms recipe and its great.
Chante is right extracting the fibers is key, but what makes my moms sweet potato pie soo good is condensed milk and butter. Oh and a homemade, not store bought crust
She has to make 8-10 pies for thanksgiving

Answer 8

the secret to sweet potato pie is to strain the sweet potato. The fibers make the texture wrong. I don't have a recipe right now (at work) but that's the trick to the pie.
