Answer 1

Old-Fashioned Sliced SweetPotato Pie

Ingredients:

pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
3 medium-size SweetPotatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds total)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 layer of pastry, set aside.

Wash, peel and cut SweetPotatoes into 1/4-inch slices. Combine 1 cup of water and the salt into a large saucepan. Add SweetPotato slices. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until SweetPotatoes are just barely tender when pierced, about 5 minutes. Drain slices, then rinse them with cold water until they are cool to touch. Drain slices well, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

To SweetPotatoes, add sugars, lemon juice, flour and pumpkin pie spice. Toss gently with a spatula until slices are evenly coated. Spoon SweetPotatoes into pastry-lined pie plate, dot top of potatoes with butter. Place top pastry over filling and crimp top and bottom pastries together to make decorative edge. Cut 3 to 4 slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Bake in 425 degrees F. oven until crust is browned and SweetPotatoes are tender when pierced, about 50 minutes. (If edges of crust start to brown too quickly, drape lightly with strips of foil. Cool pie on wire rack at least 1 hour. Serve warm or cool.

Answer 3

Sweet potato pie
1 3/4 cups strained mashed cooked sweet potatoes (mom always beats hers with a hand mixer. This takes the strings out)
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups milk
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tbsp. melted butter
Heat oven to 425*. Beat all ingredients together with rotary beater. Pour into pastry-lined pie pan. (Have bottom pastry a little thicker than 1/8" for crispness) Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until a silver knife inserted 1" from side of filling comes out clean. The center may still look soft but will set later. Serve slightly warm or cold.

Answer 4

why not do a sweet potato mash the same as a normal mash potato just replacing the normal potato with a sweet potato

Answer 5

My niece just told me that instead of boiling your potatoes, bake them for your pies. I also heard to use all spice in your pies. When you mix them in a mixer...always rinse the beaters off after mixing to get rid of the strings. Do that until you don't have any more strings.
