SWEET POTATO PIE



Sweet Potato Pie image

This mildly-sweet version of the classic Southern pie has a crisp crust and a filling that's surprisingly light. It's rich with egg and boldly spiced with nutmeg, but as fluffy as chiffon (a quality owed to the baking powder in the filling). This means you'll probably have room for two (or three) pieces. (Don't let making your own pie crust intimidate you: our pie guide has everything you need to know.)

Time 1h55m

Yield One 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled (about 1 3/4 pounds)
5 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground nutmeg
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons evaporated milk
Unbaked pie shell, 9 inches (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer until very tender, about 45 minutes. Drain well.
  • Mash the potatoes in a bowl. The potatoes should yield about 2¾ cups mashed potatoes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add butter to hot potatoes, and mash until smooth. Add sugar, nutmeg, egg and vanilla, mixing well. Combine baking powder with evaporated milk, and stir to blend. Add to mashed potatoes. Whisk mixture until velvety. Mound into pie shell, then spread evenly to edges.
  • Bake until pie has set and is lightly browned on top, about 55 minutes. Cool to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of sweet potato varieties for a more complex flavor. For example, try using half Garnet and half Covington sweet potatoes.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork before baking to help them cook evenly.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are very soft, about 1 hour. This will make them easier to mash and will give the pie a smoother texture.
  • Use a food mill or ricer to get the smoothest sweet potato puree. This will help to prevent the pie from being grainy.
  • Be careful not to over-mix the pie filling. Over-mixing can make the pie tough.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and will make the pie easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This sweet potato pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a combination of sweet potato varieties, which gives it a complex flavor. The pie is also very smooth and creamy, thanks to the use of a food mill or ricer. If you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make sweet potato pie, this recipe is the perfect choice.
