Similar to pumpkin pie, Sweet Potato Pie is not quite as sweet. Serve with whipped cream, if you like.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crust
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons (or more) ice water
Filling
2 large red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams; 13/4 pounds)
1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 cup whipping cream
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg white, beaten to blend

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Mix flour, sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter and shortening; using on/off turns, cut in until mixture resembles coarse meal. Drizzle 3 tablespoons ice water over mixture. Process until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Roll out dough on floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold overhang under. Crimp edges decoratively. (Crust can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill.)
  • For filling:
  • Pierce potatoes with fork. Cook in microwave on high until tender, about 6 minutes per side. Cut open; cool completely. Scrape potato flesh into bowl; mash until smooth. Measure enough potato puree to equal 1 1/2 cups.
  • Position rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 400°F. Place puree in large bowl. Whisk in brown sugar and next 6 ingredients. Brush crust with beaten egg white. Transfer filling to crust.
  • Bake pie until filling is puffed around edges and set in center, about 45 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; refrigerate.)

I'm not a big fan of sweet potato pie, but this recipe changed my mind. The filling was smooth and creamy, and the crust was perfectly flaky.

The pie was delicious, but the crust was a bit too thick for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pie turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more sugar to the filling.
