Missing a step… rinse strings from potatoes off whisk several times. Run whisks under water to get the strings off. This is optional, but your pie will be smoother.

[@teep2056]

It looks like she did it without showing us. But that is so true. Without doing that step you will have strings everywhere. I do mines more than 3xs

I was going to say you have to whisk the strings that’s a must moms whisked until she had no strings as a child that’s was our job the siblings as well as myself those were the days 😊😅😊

Sweet potato pie is so much better than pumpkin. I do not get why people like pumpkin pie. Even better than sweet potato pie is sweet potato PECAN pie. It combines all the sweetness of pecan pie with the sweet creaminess of sweet potato pie.

Definitely overshot my cook on this, I need to have smaller sweet potatoes. Due to them being large it took the taste out a bit.

[@glorialloyd2774]

Not if you know how to prepare sweet potato pies. The larger, the more red and more smooth the skin, the better your results. Ingredients: two to three eggs, Pet or Carnation evaporated milk, one to two sticks of unsalted butter, nutmeg (to taste) vanilla flavor (teaspoon) one to two cups of sugar (according to your taste) and one-fourth teaspoon of baking powder at the very end. Pour into a pie shell and bake at 375 degrees until nice and brown. Oh, make sure to get rid of the strings within the potato/yam. I place the softened yam in the blender to rid the yam of strings. When done, last but not least, send for me😅. My mother used to always punctuate her calls with that after sharing her recipes.
