Learn How To Make A Sweet Potato Pie
This recipe is from my mother who is now in her 90s and who taught me how to make a sweet potato pie from garden fresh potatoes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I (and my family) have! Without further ado, let’s get started with:
The Filling
The filling is the most important part of the sweet potato pie- mess this up and your pie will not taste good at all.
Tools Needed:
Pot to boil potatoes,
Large Mixing Bowl,
Large Spoon for Stirring,
Measuring Cup (dry ingredients),
Measuring Spoons and Glass Measuring Cup (liquids)
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes (yams)- look for potatoes that are clear of strings to make mixture smoother;
- 1 cup milk- PET milk or sweet milk both work fine, 1
- cup granulated sugar,
- 3 eggs,
- 1 stick of margarine or butter,
- 1/8 tsp of flour, a pinch of baking powder,
- 1/4 tsp vanilla flavor,
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon or less, if you prefer less cinnamon taste.
Recipe by on.

1.) Wash, peel, and cut sweet potatoes into chunks. This will reduce the cooking time. Cook in pot of boiling water until done enough to mash up. Drain water and put potatoes in large mixing bowl.
2.) Mash potatoes until relatively smooth (some very small lumps may be present)
3.) Add butter while the potatoes are still nice and hot so it melts, and mix well into sweet potatoes
4.) Add milk to mixture and stir until mixed well- get it nice and creamy
5.) Add eggs and stir well
6.) Add sugar and flour and stir until mixture thickens. You should still be able to pour the mixture into the pie crust.
7.) Add the vanilla flavoring and stir
8.) Now add cinnamon to taste.
The filling is now ready to be poured into pie crust. Make sure you scrape the bowl and get all the filling into the pie shell.
Pie Crust
I use a frozen ready made Pie Crust for this desert. I use the regular crust as a preference. If you like a lot of crust with your pies you should use the deep dish pie crust. Bake the pie crust for about 5 minutes prior to putting in the filling.
Baking
Pour filling into pre-heated pie crust and bake for 1 hour at 400F.
I first made this dessert as a child. I am now 50yrs old and my mother is now 90 years old. She got the recipe from her mother when she was a teenager. I made this for my co-workers every year and one of them even made it a family tradition at Christmas time for her own family. It has come a long way from Little Rock, Arkansas in 1966 to the Peach State in 2008! Hope you enjoyed this easy sweet potato pie recipe!
