    Ok this is for those that requested this recipe. Its guaranteed not to disappoint:

    Preheat oven to 400

    Ingredients:

    • Pie crust (either your own, or a frozen deep dish Pilsbury Doughboy one)
    • 1 17 oz can of sweet potatoes (drained and mashed)
    • 1/2 cup of sugar
    • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
    • 1/4 tsp allspice
    • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
    • pinch of salt
    • 3 slightly beaten eggs
    • 1 cup of sour cream or 1 cup buttermilk (I like sour cream for this one)
    • Whipped topping (optional)
    1. Mash up sweet potatoes in a large bowl
    2. Add in sugar, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and salt into potatoes. Add eggs. Beat lightly with rotary beater
    3. Add sour cream SLOWLY!!!! This is key
    4. Pour filling into crust and bake for about 25 minutes with foil on crust
    5. Take foil off crust and bake another 20 - 25 minutes, until crust is brown and knife pulls clean from filling

    I personally enjoy serving this with vanilla ice or cinnamon ice cream and praline sauce. Its also great with a dollop of Cool Whip, for that "old school" vibe.

    Everyone of my friends and family can't get enough of this stuff. Much lighter than pumpkin pie, and different flavor too.

    Thanks for sharing.

    My dad makes one mean sweet potatoe pie. I try to get him to make one for me all the time but he never feels like it.

    I know it sounds weird, but I had it when I went to Memphis, and it was PHENOMENAL!!!! Truly a southern delight.

    This sounds delicious! I just printed it out to save and use for Thanksgiving and to bring to my son's for Christmas Dinner. I have been looking for something that we don't have every year....and everyone is a bit tired of the usual banana bread now. THIS recipe will do very nicely.....and thank you, BB59!!

    hugs,

    Sirona, if you like pumpkin pie, you would possibly/likely like sweet potato pie.
