Seeking a Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

[Weedygarden]

I am seeking recipe for sweet potato pie. I have one from one of my cookbooks, but am looking for a tried and true recipe. Thank you.

I'm not sure about the filling but I do know the best crust is made without water vodka replaces the water. It makes the best crust ever and is the only way we make pie crust for past 10 years or so.
I'll look up my old timers recipe book and get back to you on the filling.

Just use your pumpkin pie recipe but substitute sweet potatoes in place of the pumpkin.

Two pies in the oven. We will see how they turn out!

 

[NannyPatty]

I bet they're wonderful! I would like your pie crust recipe....

 

[Weedygarden]

Patsi, LOL! I bought a package of them at the store! I don't always do that, but have too much going on. I will look for my pie dough recipe! I've been making pies since I was a teenager.

 

[NannyPatty]

Lol! I guess it was Meerkat who does the home made! I buy mine, too!!

Hope they are really good. Have a great day.

It is my understanding that pumpkin, winter squash & sweet potato can be interchanged in any recipe.
1 1/2 cups of sweet potato
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1-1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmag
1/2 teaspoon cloves
3 slightly beaten eggs
1 1/4 cups milk 1-9 inch unbaked pastry shell
bake at 400 F for 50 minutes
