In case you're still in need of a pie for tomorrow, I'm going to save your Thanksgiving and give you Mammaw Patsy's sweet potato pie recipe. This is the best pie ever. Don't try to tell me your pumpkin pie is the best, this is where it's at. I made two of them today. One for me, one for my guests. I didn't make my own pie crust this year — I just wasn't up to it (don't tell Martha Stewart). Mammaw Patsy never made her own pie crust, so it's okay.
The recipe that follows it exactly how my grandmother wrote it to me in an email twelve years ago. I make it every year.
SWEET POTATO PIE
1&1/2 cups sugar
l cup sweet potatoes,mashed
2 eggs
1 stick margarine
1 sm. can Pet milk (5 ozs)
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 cup sweet potato water
1 Tsp. Nutmeg (or to taste)
l Tsp. vanilla
Cook sweet potatoes until done, pour 1/2 cup of water off potatoes, add water to potatoes and mash, add
margarine and whip. (Do this in the pan you cooked potatoes in) Remove from fire when margarine is
whipped. In a separate mixing bowl, add flour and nutmeg to sugar and mix. Add eggs to sugar and flour mixing well, then add milk mixing well. Pour this into potato mixture and put back on stove and heat just
until hot, stirring constantly. Pour into unbaked pie shell – Bake at 425 degrees for about 15 mins. until
top begins to brown, lower heat to 350 degrees and cook until done (about 30-45 mins.) Pie is done when
knife comes out clean. Or bake at 350 degrees.
Kerry, this will make 2 of the regular pie crust. I use one and one-half of the recipe to make 2 deep dish
pies.
Hope they turn out great.
Love you,
Mammaw
I hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Have pie. Love, Kerry
