SWEET POTATO BUTTERMILK PIE



Sweet Potato Buttermilk Pie image

This is from a cookbook called "Best of the Best" and is attributed to the "Lee Bros". Been called a cross between sweet potato pie and cheesecake. OK,...I've since made it and the Buttermilk I think makes it taste so "off" what a sweet potato pie traditionally is that I thought it was just plain awful. My DH loves sweet potato pie (I'm a pumpkin pie fan) and swears I made this for Thanksgiving to sway our sons to dislike sweet potato pie and join the pumpkin ranks. It was too tangy and curdly. Good luck. Any suggestions on how to fix it would be appreciated...maybe just take the buttermilk clear out and replace with milk?...

Sausage Shepherd's Pie with Sweet Potatoes and Squash image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Onion     Potato     Bake     Sausage     Corn     Pea     Butternut Squash     Sweet Potato/Yam     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds tan-skinned sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
1 pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
1 medium russet potato, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 1/2 pounds sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 cups chopped onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3/4cup frozen peas
3/4cup frozen corn kernels
1/3 cup whipping cream
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
6 drops hot pepper sauce

Steps:

  • Cook sweet potatoes, squash and russet potato in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain. Return all potatoes and squash to same saucepan and mash. Stir over medium heat until excess moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add butter and syrup. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mash mixture until smooth.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 8 x 8 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Cook sausage in large skillet over medium-high heat until sausage is brown and cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to large bowl; reserve 1 tablespoon of drippings in skillet. Add onions and garlic to skillet and sauté over medium-high heat until onions are tender and golden, about 7 minutes. Add onion mixture to sausage. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool. Mix in peas, corn, cream, egg, curry powder, coriander and hot sauce.
  • Transfer sausage mixture to prepared baking dish. Spoon mashed potato mixture over; smooth top. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Bake until heated through and potatoes begin to brown around edges, about 45 minutes (or about 1 hour for casserole that has been refrigerated). Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes until they are very tender: This will make them easier to mash and will also help to bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Use a food processor or blender to mash the sweet potatoes: This will give you a smooth and creamy filling.
  • Add your favorite spices and seasonings to the filling: This is a great way to customize the pie to your own taste.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust: The filling will expand as it bakes, so leave a little bit of room at the top of the crust.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving: This will allow the filling to set and will also make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash and sweet potato pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
