0
0

A holiday favorite, this is a great pie to serve year round. Start with cooked, mashed and whipped potatoes. The extra step of whipping the sweet potatoes creates a dessert that is smooth and creamy and without lumps. Add sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and whole milk. Stir to combine, spoon into an unbaked pie crust, bake until golden brown, and top with homemade meringue.

Cook’s Notes:
Create mashed sweet potatoes by rinsing potatoes in water, scrubbing with vegetable brush, dicing into 1/2″ squares and boiling in lightly salted water for 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and add potato squares to large bowl. Using hand mixer, whip potatoes until smooth.

Whip the sweet potatoes with an electric mixer. This will produce a smooth creamy pie with no lumps.
