Dave’s Sweet Potato Pie

Contributed by: David LaFerney

We used to make this from sweet potatoes from our garden. It’s very much like pumpkin pie.

  • 2 Cups mashed baked sweet potatoes (a worthy dish on their own)
  • 1/4 Cup Butter or Margarine - Softened
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • one-half Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 one-half Cup Milk
  • 1 Unbaked 9″ pie shell

    • Combine first 8 ingredients in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add milk; beat until well blended. Carefully pour filling into pastry shell. Filling will come very close to the top of the shell.

    Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 375 degrees, and bake an additional 60 - 65 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes our clean. Let cool; garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkling of nutmeg.
