Tips:

  • Utilize a Medium Grater: Grate the sweet potatoes using a medium grater to achieve a consistent texture throughout the pie.
  • Don't Overcook the Sweet Potatoes: When boiling the sweet potatoes, cook them until they are tender but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes can result in a pie that is too soft.
  • Measure the Bourbon: Use a measuring cup with a pouring spout to accurately measure the bourbon. This will prevent spills and ensure you add the correct amount to the pie.
  • Don't Overmix the Filling: When combining the filling ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense pie.
  • Use a Deep-Dish Pie Plate: Choose a deep-dish pie plate to accommodate the generous filling. A 9-inch deep-dish pie plate is ideal.
  • Cover the Pie Edges: To prevent overbrowning, cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield during the first 30 minutes of baking.
  • Let the Pie Cool Completely: Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and firm up.
