Sweet Potato Pie
If you like Sweet Potato Pie you usually aren’t a Pumpkin Pie fan. If you are a fan of Pumpkin Pie you usually don’t like Sweet Potato Pie. Seeing as I am an equal opportunity dessert lover, I am a fan of both pumpkin and sweet potato pie. While I have stated that I love anything Pumpkin, I do also love anything sweet potato. Pumpkin Pie goes with Cool Whip and Sweet Potato Pie with vanilla ice cream!
The best sweet potato pie I have ever had was in Sacramento, California. Gloria, who cooks the best in everything she makes, whipped up the simplest looking pie. I was reluctant to eat it but did out of courtesy…OMGoodness! That is one of the best eating days of my life. The pie was out of this world. And although I never got the recipe I have tried to recreate it many times. This is as close as I have come…although not perfect.
Delicious Rating: I remember Gloria baked her potatoes but this recipe calls for boiling. Next time I will try the other way. It is a good pie. I use a 9-inch deep dish pan and the filling was just perfect. The crust is an easy no-knead-no-roll pie crust. Easy recipes are my thing of course! I will keep this pie recipe on hand for future use. I am submitting this to Cook.Eat.Delicious-Desserts! this month hosted by ChezCayenne.blogspot.com!

I know this is an odd way to make pie crust but it works and tastes delicious for a filled pie like this.
Delicious!
yummy pie….superb dear
It is a quite delicious pie Faseela!
this looks simple and yumm too…..nice blog with awesoem dishes……
It is a simple dish and very yummy. Thanks Maha!
NOW! I understand! I LOVE pumpkin pie but not a fan of sweet potato pie. My sweetie on the other hand LOVES Sweet potato pie and not a fan of Pumpkin! Apparently this is common! Although it would be nice if two people of like taste would reside in the same house!!!
But…..since I trust your recipes I am definitely going to make my sweetie your sweet potato pie. He will think he is in heaven! I have been resisting all these years.
One thing I really like is that it seems to be as easy as pumpkin pie! Maybe next fall I will make pies for each of us!
Pam, it is hard living in a house with different tastes! This is such an easy pie recipe, let me know how it turns out for you!
I always want to try this recipe since a year ago. I’m an Asian and I never had this dish ever. Since I visited my aunt in California last year. She made me this pie and I felt in love since. The best thing from your recipe is that I don’t need puff pastry dough to make the crust. I will have to make it this weekend. Thanks.
Yui, the crust is so easy in this recipe and really turns out great. Let me know how it works for you!
