OKINAWAN PURPLE SWEET POTATO PIE WITH HAUPIA TOPPING
The Okinawan sweet potato is a very special potato. It doesn't look like much from the outside (This site calls it the ugly ducking of potatoes), but it is one beautiful and delicious spud! This pie is a mixture of recipes from Reid at Ono Kine Grindz and my family's special shortbread recipe. I would not use any other potato for this recipe. It IS labor intensive, but the pay off is so worth it! This should be a smooth, rich, mouth-watering treat. People always ask me to make this for them. Cooking time does not include overnight refrigeration.
